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	1,682	114.16	1,920	69
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,456	98.82	1,439	74
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,198	97.16	1,164	151
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	978	78.39	767	190

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)	1,163	$1,372	16
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	960	$1,450	6
