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	1,587	96.97	1,539	21
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,426	82.61	1,178	14
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Very Low	1,047	72.75	762	33
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	977	70.74	691	7thin

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
