Steers 500–600 lb: high $480.82, low $346.15, median $443.46 across 33 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	—	High	1,699	172.74	2,935	6thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,536	142.84	2,194	4thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	995	119.25	1,187	2thin

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.
