Heifers 500–600 lb: high $393.78, low $294.14, median $353.65 across 8 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	—	Average	1,283	157.00	2,014	2thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,412	144.74	2,044	9thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	964	98.78	952	4thin

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.
