Bulls 500–600 lb: high $426.77, low $324.96, median $361.08 across 13 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	—	Average	1,785	128.16	2,288	2thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,104	98.68	1,089	13
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,595	96.00	1,531	1thin

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	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	935	$1,100	1thin
Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	760	$950	1thin
