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	1,723	103.89	1,790	13
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,593	94.87	1,511	17
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,105	88.93	983	50
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	938	82.99	778	15

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.
