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	—	Low	1,696	174.87	2,966	5thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,024	134.01	1,373	5thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	890	125.00	1,113	1thin

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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
