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

Steers 500–600 lb: high $499.10, low $358.46, median $438.93 across 16 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	1,720	126.98	2,184	3thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,353	120.48	1,629	6thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,051	96.15	1,011	9thin

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.
