Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Bulls	—	High	1,706	112.48	1,919	26
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,149	81.33	934	17

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	954	68.89	657	14

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.
