Heifers 500–600 lb: high $435.33, low $307.95, median $372.94 across 13 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	1,638	164.59	2,696	2thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,725	156.28	2,696	2thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,127	124.34	1,401	3thin

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.
