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.

Bulls	—	Average	1,578	173.55	2,738	22
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,082	150.36	1,626	46

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	941	135.09	1,271	48

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.
