Heifers 500–600 lb: high $411.54, low $289.87, median $358.45 across 16 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	1,756	133.98	2,353	5thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,412	121.04	1,709	3thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,081	109.95	1,189	7thin

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
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Aged (>8 yrs)	—	$1,625	4thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	—	$1,600	4thin
