Heifers 500–600 lb: high $378.66, low $277.87, median $352.33 across 25 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	1,739	164.49	2,861	10
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,462	148.05	2,164	11

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	880	99.17	873	3thin

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.
