Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

Bulls	—	High	1,620	115.38	1,869	10
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,283	100.61	1,291	41

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,113	86.78	966	20

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.
