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	1,257	117.78	1,480	4thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,391	112.09	1,559	4thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,166	101.62	1,184	8thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	833	81.43	678	2thin

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 (2-4 yrs)	815	$1,148	2thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	930	$976	2thin
