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 $449.66, low $330.43, median $401.13 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

Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,390	177.99	2,473	18

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	979	155.09	1,519	14

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.
