Weight class

Heifers · summary 500–600 lb

Weighted average of every reported lot

500–600 lb heifers averaged $345.45/cwt on 7 head, up $26.60 from the prior sale (only 12 head in that comparison). That ranks 6 of 22 comparable sales and sits −34.20 against this barn's trailing median of $379.65.

One grade step is worth $20.06/cwt here — about $32 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 400–500 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

22 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $416.06, low $300.39, median $379.65 across 22 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	1,529	180.19	2,755	4thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,118	138.68	1,550	23
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,060	125.00	1,325	1thin

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
