Heifers 400–500 lb: high $459.94, low $318.87, median $394.79 across 10 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
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,280	173.48	2,221	11
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,085	160.00	1,736	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 Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,140	$2,700	1thin
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	980	$2,392	2thin
