Bulls 500–600 lb: high $414.25, low $290.80, median $362.30 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
