33 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $413.75, low $294.93, median $352.66 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	—	Average	1,618	185.86	3,007	9thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,185	156.60	1,856	59

Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,620	130.00	2,106	1thin

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.
