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	—	Average	1,774	91.17	1,617	5thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,577	69.72	1,099	36

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	1,123	60.37	678	63
