Heifers 500–600 lb: high $420.72, low $302.94, median $381.06 across 34 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	1,494	140.91	2,105	6thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,280	128.28	1,642	32

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,031	114.95	1,185	25

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.
