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

4 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $404.84, low $362.11, median $373.86 across 4 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.

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
