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	1,547	119.65	1,851	3thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,582	110.19	1,743	5thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	948	92.14	874	11

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.
