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	1,618	94.16	1,524	8thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,468	66.46	976	23

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,039	56.32	585	212

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	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,147	$793	16
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,153	$716	7
