“These are the times that try men's souls.”
I would discount cows, I would never pay what a 1st. calf heifer brings for a seasoned cow. The heifer should be the prime genetics, temperament. Plus if she didn't pan out, you would have salvage value of a heiferette. Here you have pricing as bred heifers, running age cows, and gummers bred, then cull price. With bred heifer bringing the most.
