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

34 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $494.35, low $336.56, median $416.81 across 34 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	—	Low	1,539	153.13	2,357	16
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,088	132.20	1,438	48
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,025	129.39	1,326	16
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	910	115.62	1,052	34

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)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,275	$2,238	50
