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

17 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $465.34, low $321.62, median $382.19 across 17 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	—	High	1,823	205.00	3,736	2thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,460	167.28	2,443	13

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	923	123.50	1,139	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.

Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,300	$3,400	1thin
