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	1,696	101.16	1,716	14
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,274	70.49	898	16
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,532	70.01	1,072	19
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,045	61.80	646	30

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
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,280	$1,166	5
Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,375	$850	1thin
