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	1,567	109.01	1,708	5thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,489	88.26	1,315	14
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,057	87.85	929	17
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	925	67.10	621	7thin

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.
