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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	High	1,565	179.39	2,808	6thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,124	155.61	1,749	18

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	762	127.80	974	8thin

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.
