Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,599	99.91	1,597	11

Steers	Select and Choice	Average	1,590	135.00	2,147	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.
