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	—	High	1,409	111.32	1,568	4thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,253	92.36	1,157	24
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,007	83.35	839	16

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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	924	$900	4thin
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	864	$812	5
