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	1,520	151.75	2,307	17
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,383	140.39	1,941	19

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,108	124.44	1,378	40

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.
