Steers 500–600 lb: high $450.73, low $320.47, median $400.73 across 11 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	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,138	132.97	1,513	15

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
