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

22 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $416.11, low $309.82, median $354.87 across 22 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	1,717	165.73	2,845	10
Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	855	135.00	1,154	1thin

Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,142	110.44	1,261	19

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	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,270	$2,350	1thin
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,148	$1,711	2thin
