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	—	Low	1,565	183.01	2,864	12
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,573	157.16	2,473	18

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,084	138.43	1,501	22

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	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	—	$1,483	3thin
Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	—	$1,433	3thin
