Heifers 500–600 lb: high $401.92, low $295.59, median $368.02 across 15 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	1,670	189.00	3,156	1thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,608	146.00	2,347	2thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,015	132.50	1,345	2thin

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
