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

7 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $385.25, low $309.49, median $342.13 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
Bulls	—	Low	1,563	152.13	2,377	4thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,250	115.58	1,445	18
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,025	107.53	1,102	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.
