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	1,510	201.50	3,043	2thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,252	178.25	2,231	4thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,055	133.00	1,403	1thin

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.
