Heifers 500–600 lb: high $409.07, low $296.08, median $374.07 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.

Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,614	188.00	3,034	6thin

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
