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
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,431	102.68	1,469	6thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	1,153	90.13	1,039	11
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,645	80.00	1,316	1thin
Heifers	Select and Choice	Average	1,195	118.00	1,410	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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	835	$900	1thin
