Steers 500–600 lb: high $450.73, low $320.47, median $392.47 across 12 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	—	High	1,645	184.00	3,027	1thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,636	152.11	2,489	12
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,560	152.00	2,371	1thin

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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	985	$2,000	1thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,060	$2,375	1thin
