Steers 500–600 lb: high $474.49, low $343.23, median $418.24 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Low	1,741	143.99	2,507	12
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,408	124.14	1,748	5thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,159	110.47	1,280	38

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
