One grade step is worth $73.29/cwt here — about $463 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 0–100 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

This barn's trailing prices 0–100 lb

25 sales

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $223.56, low $181.29, median $202.05 across 25 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	1,609	120.37	1,936	19
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,265	99.07	1,253	109
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	863	79.00	682	12

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
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,500	$1,425	1thin
