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	—	Low	1,419	117.78	1,671	20
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,457	101.25	1,475	12
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,160	99.68	1,156	57
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,005	83.40	838	22

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
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,233	$1,600	6
