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	—	Average	1,751	104.12	1,823	9thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,356	79.33	1,076	8thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,140	63.14	720	20

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.
