Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.78, low $364.36, median $447.56 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.

Bulls	—	High	1,611	144.73	2,331	6thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,223	125.49	1,535	18

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.
