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	—	High	1,633	170.85	2,791	19
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,481	148.76	2,203	43
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,271	146.70	1,865	54
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,073	137.00	1,471	46

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.
