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	1,624	94.04	1,527	55
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,473	76.69	1,129	98
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,199	72.51	869	114
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	1,040	61.59	641	183

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.

Bred Cows	2nd/3rd Stage (4-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,136	$1,151	75
