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

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	1,468	112.82	1,656	12
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,086	101.90	1,106	14
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	958	88.88	851	20

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/3rd Stage (4-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,253	$1,355	28
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,140	$1,632	6
