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	1,680	110.83	1,862	53
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,469	95.52	1,403	124
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,223	91.21	1,116	155
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	948	73.26	695	185

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)	1,212	$1,339	16
