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

27 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $483.11, low $377.91, median $445.14 across 27 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
