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	1,345	197.18	2,652	11
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,216	180.55	2,196	7thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,050	164.31	1,726	5thin

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.
