8 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $451.18, low $372.59, median $426.43 across 8 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	—	High	1,789	198.72	3,554	6thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,580	181.00	2,860	1thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,144	172.46	1,974	11

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	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,370	$2,900	1thin
