31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $427.83, low $316.23, median $372.20 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Fed Cattle — the cash market and what quality pays

Beef & Retail — from the box to the grocery shelf

Feed & Hay — the cost side, cash not futures
