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

Steers 500–600 lb: high $449.90, low $339.54, median $397.41 across 15 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	1,537	158.41	2,434	7thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,419	134.39	1,907	8thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,088	116.35	1,266	17
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	895	107.00	958	1thin

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 Stage (4-6 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,245	$1,675	1thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young (2-4 yrs)	880	$1,450	1thin
