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	1,640	104.15	1,708	4thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,375	98.18	1,350	6thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,071	84.26	902	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
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	—	$1,075	4thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Aged (>8 yrs)	—	$900	10
