Heifers 500–600 lb: high $425.28, low $306.46, median $372.10 across 16 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	1,665	223.65	3,724	5thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,310	177.39	2,324	27

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,103	161.34	1,780	18

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.
