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

33 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $390.48, low $292.12, median $342.85 across 33 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	—	High	1,812	174.35	3,159	7thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,323	138.76	1,835	63
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	961	101.30	973	7thin

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/Aged (>5 yrs)	1,100	$1,950	1thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,000	$1,650	1thin

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
