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	1,892	103.18	1,952	8thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,381	84.77	1,171	25
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,105	83.28	920	28
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	990	60.00	594	2thin

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.
