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

34 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $421.11, low $305.15, median $385.23 across 34 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.

Bulls	—	Low	1,413	166.88	2,358	12
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,221	145.00	1,770	108

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,046	126.91	1,328	75

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.
