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	1,467	92.49	1,357	15
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,237	71.10	880	36
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,075	59.50	640	27

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
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,157	$1,201	13
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Middle Aged/Aged (>5 yrs)	1,120	$1,102	5
