27 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $482.74, low $360.58, median $428.38 across 27 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.

Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,183	163.43	1,933	38

Replacement cattle Per head
