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

33 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.97, low $366.49, median $460.76 across 33 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	—	Low	1,712	194.96	3,338	4thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,300	133.00	1,729	1thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	997	92.50	922	4thin

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)	1,240	$2,950	1thin
