Heifers 500–600 lb: high $410.62, low $306.82, median $366.24 across 25 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.

Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,261	122.37	1,543	32

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	825	104.25	860	8thin

Replacement cattle Per head
