Heifers 500–600 lb: high $453.97, low $335.72, median $395.83 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	1,696	191.46	3,247	8thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,455	163.11	2,373	17

Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	1,028	132.23	1,360	6thin

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.
