34 sales

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

Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,708	186.15	3,179	2thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,011	147.07	1,487	5thin

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.
