34 sales

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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Average	1,505	195.05	2,936	15
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,712	179.41	3,072	12

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,095	152.74	1,672	24

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.
