9 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $415.76, low $365.20, median $387.65 across 9 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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	—	Average	1,305	185.00	2,414	1thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,130	170.07	1,922	10

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 (2-4 yrs)	978	$2,953	2thin
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	960	$2,200	1thin
Bred Heifers	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	(<2 yrs)	780	$2,300	1thin
