12 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $406.51, low $313.86, median $346.10 across 12 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	1,399	145.41	2,034	4thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,394	124.38	1,734	5thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,057	121.52	1,284	5thin

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)	910	$1,250	1thin
Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	895	$1,075	1thin
