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

8 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $444.73, low $335.84, median $408.58 across 8 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	1,936	197.17	3,817	5thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,415	159.24	2,253	4thin

Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,106	147.19	1,628	4thin

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.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
