32 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.67, low $343.16, median $438.61 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	—	Average	1,500	139.50	2,093	1thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,448	134.74	1,951	2thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,090	118.50	1,292	1thin

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.
