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	1,590	91.50	1,455	1thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,490	82.00	1,222	1thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	983	44.75	440	2thin

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	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	1,350	$795	1thin
