30 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $463.14, low $334.44, median $421.53 across 30 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	1,510	156.75	2,367	12
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,205	134.94	1,627	37

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,025	116.41	1,193	14

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.
