Steers 500–600 lb: high $477.34, low $343.34, median $419.80 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.

Bulls	—	Low	1,462	196.15	2,867	9thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,293	170.87	2,209	93

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,113	147.49	1,641	33

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.
