Steers 500–600 lb: high $494.35, low $336.56, median $416.81 across 34 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%	High	1,193	122.06	1,456	62

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
