Steers 500–600 lb: high $472.36, low $348.13, median $431.02 across 12 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	1,533	143.61	2,202	3thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,089	120.04	1,307	12

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	977	99.15	969	5thin

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	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	—	$1,800	1thin
Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	—	$1,500	1thin
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	—	$1,250	1thin
