One grade step is worth $39.91/cwt here — about $102 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 500–600 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

9 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $411.54, low $332.53, median $371.98 across 9 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.

Bulls	—	Average	1,518	179.84	2,730	2thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,325	146.58	1,942	4thin

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	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	—	$2,900	2thin
Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	—	$2,588	4thin
