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

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	1,568	114.26	1,792	8thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,259	86.94	1,095	4thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,386	83.88	1,163	5thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	1,085	63.94	694	8thin

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)	1,025	$900	1thin
