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
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,524	167.56	2,554	4thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,268	145.00	1,839	2thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	875	110.00	963	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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bulls	N/A	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,835	$3,450	1thin
Stock Cows	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,400	$2,300	1thin
