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	1,725	176.01	3,036	3thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,364	137.89	1,881	20
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,785	134.00	2,392	1thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,163	119.38	1,388	4thin

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/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,000	$2,158	3thin
