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	1,792	158.09	2,832	40
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,636	141.90	2,321	25
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,274	132.75	1,691	61
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,081	103.75	1,121	74

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.
