Heifers 600–700 lb: high $348.22, low $316.45, median $323.14 across 4 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	1,325	139.00	1,842	1thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,570	133.44	2,095	2thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	855	113.84	973	5thin

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
