Heifers 500–600 lb: high $424.62, low $303.06, median $369.39 across 26 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	2,180	151.00	3,292	2thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,158	121.84	1,411	14
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,329	119.31	1,585	6thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	979	104.41	1,022	10

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/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	—	$1,400	3thin
Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	—	$1,260	1thin
