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

23 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $416.11, low $309.82, median $367.51 across 23 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.
