Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Bulls	—	Low	1,418	102.00	1,446	2thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,141	92.22	1,052	18

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	883	69.97	618	4thin

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.
