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

23 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $390.25, low $278.50, median $345.04 across 23 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%	Low	1,260	178.65	2,251	8thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,100	149.59	1,645	4thin

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
