Heifers 500–600 lb: high $383.95, low $362.11, median $363.78 across 3 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.

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	982	86.49	849	8thin

Replacement cattle Per head
