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.

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	892	125.89	1,123	7thin

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
