34 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $422.87, low $321.98, median $393.73 across 34 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	1,620	153.86	2,492	14
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,450	121.69	1,764	25
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,173	121.57	1,426	39
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,044	105.90	1,105	13

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.

Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,215	$1,700	1thin
