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	1,755	90.00	1,580	1thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,500	85.00	1,275	1thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	1,050	50.00	525	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.
