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

34 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $477.34, low $343.34, median $419.80 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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Average	1,799	198.67	3,574	22
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,425	152.45	2,172	8thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,223	151.97	1,859	139
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	997	137.85	1,375	23

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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,144	$2,074	9
