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	1,598	119.29	1,906	2thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	948	104.00	985	2thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	812	56.93	462	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 Heifers	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,050	$1,300	1thin
Bred Heifers	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	(<2 yrs)	1,038	$1,292	2thin
