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

Steers 500–600 lb: high $472.65, low $331.18, median $421.51 across 35 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.

Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,515	117.78	1,785	7thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,047	103.60	1,084	25

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.
