Only one grade was reported at this weight, so there is no spread to compute.

19 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $420.29, low $350.30, median $389.01 across 19 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
Bulls	—	High	1,704	163.70	2,789	3thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,493	149.77	2,237	3thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	1,055	110.28	1,163	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
Bred Heifers	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,005	$2,200	1thin
