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

17 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $435.81, low $279.35, median $349.75 across 17 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	—	Average	1,315	178.00	2,341	1thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,184	147.74	1,749	8thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	890	118.28	1,053	3thin

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	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	823	$1,753	2thin
