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

8 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $393.37, low $327.52, median $368.71 across 8 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	1,465	167.00	2,447	1thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,640	189.00	3,100	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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	995	$2,208	2thin
