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

9 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $422.58, low $305.24, median $355.97 across 9 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	1,388	168.02	2,332	2thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	978	122.29	1,196	3thin

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	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	1,295	$2,350	1thin
