Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,285	63.36	814	15

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	944	51.82	489	6thin

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	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,136	$847	5
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,095	$815	12
