Slaughter bulls sold steady to 2.00 higher with 1 high yielding bull selling for 236.

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.
