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	1,863	109.33	2,037	11
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,490	88.67	1,321	22

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
