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.

Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,367	164.25	2,245	24

By class, stage and age
