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	1,513	109.88	1,662	7thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,391	91.51	1,273	6thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,133	89.24	1,011	20
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	963	72.43	697	8thin

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
Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	—	$1,063	6
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	—	$903	8
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	—	$1,025	14
