A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

33 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $413.75, low $294.93, median $362.47 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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	1,719	166.09	2,855	10
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,276	133.00	1,697	31
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	968	117.61	1,139	7thin

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)	1,086	$2,878	9
