28 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $441.15, low $314.67, median $388.68 across 28 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	1,635	153.91	2,516	5thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,504	123.63	1,859	6thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,199	107.31	1,286	9thin

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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	793	$1,238	2thin
