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	1,652	98.35	1,625	28
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,411	69.36	979	32
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,269	69.15	877	32
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,172	64.65	758	26

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)	1,400	$890	7
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,424	$1,349	16
