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

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $440.81, low $328.90, median $383.65 across 7 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
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,532	154.79	2,372	5thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	922	101.32	934	9thin

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)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	900	$2,500	1thin
Bred Heifers	2nd/3rd Stage (4-9 mo)	(<2 yrs)	1,100	$3,100	2thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Aged (>8 yrs)	1,000	$3,063	2thin
