Steers 500–600 lb: high $472.65, low $331.18, median $421.51 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	—	High	1,891	150.42	2,844	8thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,480	129.22	1,913	5thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,009	103.99	1,049	16

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.
