Heifers 500–600 lb: high $421.63, low $325.83, median $382.30 across 14 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

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.

Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	—	$1,625	1thin
