Bulls 500–600 lb: high $426.77, low $324.96, median $399.14 across 9 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	1,918	189.00	3,624	2thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,565	150.00	2,348	1thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,218	147.09	1,792	7thin

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.
