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 $460.75, low $340.02, median $437.37 across 17 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	1,272	147.39	1,875	5thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,343	138.12	1,855	11
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,028	123.88	1,273	24

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.
