35 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $434.17, low $302.94, median $382.77 across 35 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	—	Low	1,456	170.35	2,481	5thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,366	141.60	1,934	10

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,139	127.20	1,448	3thin

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.
