Heifers 500–600 lb: high $408.33, low $305.27, median $352.56 across 16 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	1,305	151.62	1,979	2thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,318	162.33	2,140	3thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	1,106	143.12	1,583	9thin

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)	Young (2-4 yrs)	848	$2,312	2thin
Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	883	$1,183	2thin
