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	1,397	107.52	1,502	10
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,095	119.00	1,303	1thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	838	72.69	609	15

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.
