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	—	High	1,676	113.01	1,894	6thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,290	102.65	1,324	5thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,048	90.74	951	51
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	920	73.33	675	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	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,047	$989	3thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young (2-4 yrs)	905	$1,160	1thin
