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	—	Average	1,653	114.52	1,893	7thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,503	102.96	1,547	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)	Aged (>8 yrs)	—	$1,088	3thin
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	—	$972	3thin
