Heifers 500–600 lb: high $431.76, low $319.07, median $395.03 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	1,674	213.27	3,570	4thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,494	178.56	2,668	8thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,153	161.81	1,866	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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	—	$2,600	1thin
Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	—	$2,200	1thin
