Bulls 0–100 lb: high $226.07, low $160.38, median $214.82 across 18 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.

Bulls	—	Average	1,231	92.19	1,135	7thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,208	75.14	908	22

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.
