A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

7 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $440.81, low $328.90, median $383.65 across 7 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,365	132.00	1,802	1thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,080	110.63	1,195	3thin

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 Stage (4-6 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	1,350	$2,000	1thin
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	840	$1,400	1thin
