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	1,625	113.61	1,847	8thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,671	94.58	1,580	4thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,166	90.43	1,054	24
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,023	63.50	649	2thin

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)	1,115	$1,264	2thin
