Heifers 500–600 lb: high $393.37, low $327.52, median $368.71 across 8 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	1,945	167.00	3,248	1thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,308	125.21	1,638	7thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,066	106.69	1,138	14

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.
