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

Heifers 400–500 lb: high $461.42, low $436.39, median $453.40 across 3 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	1,630	120.00	1,956	1thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,300	120.00	1,560	2thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,093	84.77	927	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.
