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	1,594	115.93	1,848	5thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,394	103.49	1,443	15

Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	1,107	89.75	994	44

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.
