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

28 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $441.15, low $314.67, median $388.68 across 28 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.
