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

20 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $516.16, low $414.87, median $480.03 across 20 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.

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.
