Bulls 500–600 lb: high $453.69, low $328.73, median $399.35 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	1,757	196.13	3,446	8thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,241	171.72	2,131	30

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,187	141.33	1,677	3thin

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.
