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	1,555	113.11	1,759	27
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,145	92.80	1,063	99
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	993	78.41	779	43

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)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,059	$1,110	10
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	988	$945	9
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,180	$1,386	24
