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.

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,088	123.91	1,348	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.
