As filed

With all the snow still lingering, many county roads are covered with snow and ice, making it hard for cattle producers to get their cattle to the market today. Due to the conditions, supply was too light, to determine a trend.

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

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $472.12, low $330.37, median $401.38 across 29 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	—	Average	1,438	146.50	2,106	2thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,683	117.50	1,977	2thin

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.
