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

27 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $454.14, low $297.99, median $394.30 across 27 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
