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

29 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.85, low $339.74, median $415.57 across 29 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	—	Low	1,877	155.62	2,921	9thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,356	113.83	1,544	7thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,034	104.13	1,077	13

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
Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,110	$1,500	1thin
Bred Heifers	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	905	$1,450	2thin
