Heifers 500–600 lb: high $369.48, low $342.95, median $360.03 across 3 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	1,513	136.52	2,066	2thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,291	117.93	1,522	5thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	1,035	96.00	994	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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Heifers	1st/2nd Stage (1-6 mo)	(<2 yrs)	950	$1,505	2thin
Stock Cows	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	850	$1,100	1thin
