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	1,545	144.50	2,233	1thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	850	133.00	1,131	1thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,060	130.00	1,378	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.

Stock Cows	Open	Middle Aged/Aged (>5 yrs)	1,105	$1,562	2thin
