6 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $397.24, low $337.07, median $381.52 across 6 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	—	Average	1,738	201.10	3,495	2thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,286	168.93	2,172	9thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,065	141.27	1,505	6thin

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.
