Steers 500–600 lb: high $490.02, low $353.49, median $431.43 across 30 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	1,354	138.40	1,873	3thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,385	118.77	1,645	6thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,125	116.76	1,313	52
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,127	114.26	1,288	14

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.
