One grade step is worth $8.43/cwt here — about −$90 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 200–300 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

7 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $426.77, low $384.78, median $404.47 across 7 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	—	Low	1,130	159.00	1,797	1thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,390	169.00	2,349	1thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,095	150.70	1,650	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)	1,235	$2,850	1thin
Stock Cows	Open	Young (2-4 yrs)	890	$1,600	1thin
