Heifers 500–600 lb: high $414.64, low $313.28, median $380.31 across 32 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	1,722	189.46	3,263	10
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,416	176.94	2,505	11

Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	1,021	148.61	1,517	18

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.
