Heifers 500–600 lb: high $426.15, low $321.99, median $388.17 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.

Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,488	165.24	2,458	15

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
