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

Bulls 400–500 lb: high $487.40, low $370.26, median $404.74 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	—	Low	1,218	123.55	1,505	2thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,145	108.00	1,237	2thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,625	106.00	1,723	1thin

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.
