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	1,445	122.00	1,763	1thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,165	99.42	1,158	6thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,035	83.00	859	1thin

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.

Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,210	$1,350	1thin
