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

18 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $474.79, low $369.12, median $426.46 across 18 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	1,790	219.00	3,920	1thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	1,130	182.00	2,057	1thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,250	179.00	2,238	1thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,123	159.18	1,788	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.
