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

26 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $424.62, low $303.06, median $369.39 across 26 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	1,740	171.00	2,975	2thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,370	139.10	1,906	3thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,065	116.19	1,238	18

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.
