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	1,440	131.83	1,898	8thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,253	118.28	1,482	26
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,100	95.87	1,054	6thin

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)	940	$1,485	3thin
Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	810	$1,150	1thin
