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	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,236	143.78	1,777	52
