Heifers 500–600 lb: high $435.22, low $303.56, median $391.20 across 29 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	1,502	150.02	2,253	4thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,414	106.00	1,499	5thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	1,142	96.37	1,101	9thin

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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	960	$1,225	1thin
