Steers 500–600 lb: high $513.49, low $343.81, median $446.70 across 31 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	1,755	174.59	3,063	9thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,556	142.56	2,218	17
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,288	140.70	1,812	55
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,174	111.54	1,310	71

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	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,089	$1,931	5
