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

3 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $365.05, low $310.94, median $333.55 across 3 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	1,670	201.46	3,364	3thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,110	151.33	1,680	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
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,100	$2,600	1thin
Stock Cows	Open	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,010	$2,000	1thin
