Heifers 500–600 lb: high $431.18, low $301.32, median $383.95 across 35 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	—	Low	1,650	154.35	2,547	5thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,469	125.52	1,844	4thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,099	108.32	1,191	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.
