Bulls 500–600 lb: high $422.29, low $315.98, median $371.88 across 19 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	—	Average	1,255	151.00	1,895	1thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,255	127.02	1,594	7thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	970	105.35	1,022	6thin

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.
