Heifers 500–600 lb: high $444.17, low $309.83, median $382.40 across 35 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	—	High	1,635	147.04	2,403	20
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,118	134.76	1,506	70

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	988	119.59	1,181	24

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.
