Heifers 500–600 lb: high $413.09, low $308.13, median $366.79 across 3 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	1,608	157.09	2,526	2thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,485	138.27	2,053	2thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,088	114.00	1,240	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	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,245	$2,425	1thin
