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	1,610	161.74	2,604	5thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,328	127.08	1,688	18

Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	1,158	112.00	1,297	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.
