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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	High	1,706	211.42	3,608	26
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,213	184.42	2,236	56

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,025	162.44	1,665	10

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.
