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

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	1,998	103.35	2,065	2thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,168	75.66	883	16
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	818	53.69	439	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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,025	$986	2thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	995	$875	2thin
