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

14 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $433.72, low $319.00, median $380.02 across 14 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	1,579	141.25	2,230	6thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,183	106.90	1,265	10
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,127	106.01	1,194	3thin

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
