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
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,508	90.96	1,372	3thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,165	88.47	1,031	5thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	978	85.31	834	3thin

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.
