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

Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,476	77.69	1,147	200

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,040	62.33	648	177

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
