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	1,680	122.02	2,050	32
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,477	90.31	1,334	22

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,080	69.26	748	82

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.
