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

30 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $463.14, low $334.44, median $421.53 across 30 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
