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	1,669	110.79	1,849	7thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,567	89.47	1,402	5thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,187	80.23	952	15
Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	986	68.67	677	24

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	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,407	$1,110	2thin
