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

Steers 500–600 lb: high $478.49, low $423.55, median $467.50 across 3 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
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	970	76.00	737	1thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,070	67.00	717	2thin
Heifers	Select and Choice	Average	1,120	155.00	1,736	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
Bulls	N/A	(<2 yrs)	870	$1,400	2thin
