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	1,471	145.29	2,137	4thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,640	119.00	1,952	1thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	798	82.50	658	2thin

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.

Stock Cows	Open	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,008	$1,175	2thin
