Heifers 500–600 lb: high $420.87, low $319.18, median $391.94 across 32 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	1,661	142.67	2,370	11
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,467	118.74	1,741	10
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,341	116.23	1,559	7thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,018	100.07	1,018	9thin

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	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,185	$1,850	1thin
Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,200	$1,400	1thin
