Steers 500–600 lb: high $460.75, low $340.02, median $437.37 across 17 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	—	Low	1,577	127.05	2,003	4thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,530	112.00	1,714	1thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,181	108.43	1,280	20

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	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	968	$1,094	5
Stock Cows	Open	Young (2-4 yrs)	959	$1,390	6
