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	1,323	119.11	1,575	10
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,357	104.85	1,423	17

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
