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

29 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $430.48, low $328.30, median $391.99 across 29 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	—	Average	2,100	195.00	4,095	1thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,505	169.00	2,543	1thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,266	156.58	1,983	12

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	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,545	$2,700	2thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,305	$2,650	2thin
