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	1,487	109.95	1,635	10
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,093	90.62	991	22
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,025	87.93	901	4thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	935	76.64	717	20

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	2nd/3rd Stage (4-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,054	$1,318	20
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,018	$1,508	10
