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	1,759	114.43	2,013	15
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,605	96.07	1,542	3thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,270	93.01	1,181	38
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,084	79.77	864	24

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	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,110	$1,025	1thin
