33 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $390.48, low $292.12, median $342.85 across 33 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	—	Low	1,828	149.78	2,738	17
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,231	128.07	1,577	136
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	2,000	128.00	2,560	1thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	860	90.54	778	18

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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,100	$1,590	1thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,250	$1,475	1thin
