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	1,501	137.49	2,064	5thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,253	109.00	1,366	2thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,298	105.93	1,375	5thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,190	95.00	1,131	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.
