Only one grade was reported at this weight, so there is no spread to compute.

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $390.48, low $292.12, median $352.13 across 31 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	1,656	161.17	2,669	6thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,247	143.17	1,785	63
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	819	108.82	892	13

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
