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	—	Low	1,452	119.60	1,737	6thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,518	92.48	1,404	5thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,032	83.77	864	17

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.

Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	895	$850	1thin
