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	—	Average	1,670	113.67	1,899	6thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,480	105.02	1,554	6thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,291	96.48	1,246	44
Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	1,045	78.80	824	35

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)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,172	$886	5
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,171	$800	4thin

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
