Heifers 500–600 lb: high $424.49, low $309.23, median $362.42 across 33 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	1,786	173.06	3,091	7thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,314	146.75	1,928	15
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,057	125.00	1,322	23

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.
