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	1,529	90.37	1,382	24
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,378	71.55	986	35

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
