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

4 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $396.96, low $330.42, median $364.89 across 4 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	1,265	143.00	1,809	1thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,114	119.02	1,326	6thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	836	95.17	796	6thin

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	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	975	$1,275	1thin
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	625	$700	1thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,045	$1,800	1thin
