3 sales

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $217.34, low $201.59, median $205.29 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	1,798	109.13	1,962	6thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,164	76.11	885	31
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,083	65.64	711	27

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.
