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	1,409	100.67	1,418	3thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,310	78.00	1,022	2thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,012	55.74	564	3thin

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.

Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,045	$1,225	1thin
Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,145	$945	2thin
Bred Heifers	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	(<2 yrs)	770	$800	1thin
