Steers 500–600 lb: high $462.50, low $332.31, median $379.30 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	—	Average	1,388	144.65	2,007	10
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,450	137.81	1,998	5thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,161	131.09	1,522	11

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)	1,385	$2,000	1thin
Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	830	$1,650	1thin
