Heifers 500–600 lb: high $434.64, low $303.86, median $332.34 across 19 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	1,732	153.02	2,650	3thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,629	141.33	2,302	9thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,235	130.65	1,614	6thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,136	122.62	1,393	14

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.
