27 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $410.04, low $292.45, median $336.26 across 27 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	Boner 80-85%	High	1,267	125.32	1,588	23

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,042	114.33	1,192	8thin

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
