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	1,841	125.12	2,303	32
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,586	96.25	1,527	14
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,313	89.70	1,178	134
Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	948	70.28	666	23

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.
