Steers 500–600 lb: high $449.90, low $339.54, median $397.41 across 15 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	—	Low	1,604	182.29	2,923	9thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,612	157.23	2,534	8thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	703	110.50	776	2thin

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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	815	$1,075	1thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young (2-4 yrs)	850	$2,100	1thin
