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	—	Average	1,727	106.14	1,833	38
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,463	88.21	1,291	96
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,205	86.19	1,038	108
Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	995	69.34	690	196

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.
