A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

32 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $453.69, low $330.11, median $400.98 across 32 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	1,674	207.26	3,470	6thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,495	178.14	2,664	17

Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	986	145.39	1,433	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.
