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

22 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $390.25, low $278.50, median $348.79 across 22 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	—	High	1,713	146.36	2,508	3thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,164	124.04	1,444	16
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	958	91.03	872	5thin

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)	1,090	$1,454	3thin
Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	770	$1,075	3thin
