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

3 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $369.48, low $342.95, median $360.03 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	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,170	110.00	1,287	1thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	915	109.00	997	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
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,313	$2,641	2thin
