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	—	High	1,686	197.53	3,331	12
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,222	162.52	1,986	78

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	895	138.22	1,237	23

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.
