Heifers 500–600 lb: high $323.44, low $312.52, median $319.72 across 5 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	1,875	161.30	3,024	3thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,352	133.14	1,800	9thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,141	119.51	1,363	12

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.
