Heifers 500–600 lb: high $434.15, low $301.16, median $392.90 across 33 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	1,691	182.91	3,093	6thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,350	146.21	1,974	16

Heifers	Select and Choice	Average	1,075	199.00	2,139	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.
