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 $467.94, low $361.51, median $458.08 across 3 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	1,845	156.05	2,879	2thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,083	108.12	1,171	6thin

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.
