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

29 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $441.15, low $314.67, median $396.25 across 29 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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Low	1,637	181.12	2,965	7thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,602	155.14	2,486	7thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	1,165	121.47	1,415	12

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)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,070	$2,300	1thin
