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	—	High	1,618	92.92	1,504	40
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,452	75.52	1,096	73
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,197	67.17	804	124
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,003	52.41	526	164

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/3rd Stage (4-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,129	$1,030	25
Bred Cows	2nd/3rd Stage (4-9 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	1,052	$925	12
