Steers 500–600 lb: high $470.93, low $344.77, median $410.06 across 22 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	1,791	185.49	3,321	11
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,287	155.51	2,001	45
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	920	129.68	1,193	15

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)	1,200	$2,675	1thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	750	$1,900	1thin
