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	1,608	92.63	1,490	10
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,372	69.17	949	15
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,205	63.78	769	49
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	1,011	52.54	531	65

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	2nd/3rd Stage (4-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,345	$1,063	2thin
