34 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $411.86, low $295.28, median $380.38 across 34 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.

Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,091	141.10	1,540	186

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,025	114.78	1,176	16

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.
