Steers 500–600 lb: high $484.40, low $329.53, median $438.53 across 31 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.

Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,487	137.10	2,039	11

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
