Steers 500–600 lb: high $502.87, low $396.12, median $463.16 across 26 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	1,866	163.30	3,048	14
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,363	135.57	1,848	84

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,095	103.00	1,128	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.

Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Middle Aged/Aged (>5 yrs)	1,235	$2,250	1thin
