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	1,828	141.48	2,586	19
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,547	118.24	1,829	23

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,389	104.92	1,457	106

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.
