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	1,662	169.36	2,814	7thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,216	139.62	1,698	16
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	970	100.50	975	2thin

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.
