Bulls 0–100 lb: high $227.14, low $172.58, median $210.13 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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Average	1,425	111.79	1,593	4thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,470	116.59	1,714	8thin

Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,256	98.52	1,237	11

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	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,000	$1,475	1thin
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	950	$1,350	2thin
