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	—	Low	1,522	102.56	1,561	14
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,125	92.60	1,042	135

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	997	79.25	790	36

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
