Feeder heifers 500 lb to 1,000 lb sold 3.00 to 8.00 higher, with the most advance on heifers weighing over 900 lb.

28 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $438.80, low $364.26, median $396.78 across 28 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.

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
