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	—	High	1,655	122.00	2,019	1thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,148	103.69	1,191	9thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	1,145	88.00	1,008	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.
