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	1,568	117.51	1,843	13
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,470	104.76	1,540	19

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	975	85.13	830	37

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.

Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	900	$975	1thin
