Bulls 500–600 lb: high $432.93, low $334.34, median $377.09 across 25 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	1,633	188.06	3,070	4thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,207	151.89	1,834	15

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,052	127.00	1,335	4thin

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	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	—	$2,000	1thin
Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	—	$1,700	1thin
