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	1,784	119.63	2,135	12
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,653	88.01	1,455	8thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,238	76.54	947	44
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	900	56.00	504	1thin

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	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,385	$1,214	5
