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

Steers 500–600 lb: high $469.72, low $334.86, median $363.84 across 8 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.

Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	845	154.50	1,306	3thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,149	138.29	1,589	5thin

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.
