Steers 500–600 lb: high $442.67, low $352.59, median $400.48 across 5 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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,278	136.50	1,744	2thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,138	129.47	1,473	2thin

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
