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.

Bulls	—	Average	1,215	185.00	2,248	1thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	945	125.00	1,181	2thin

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
