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	1,737	116.48	2,024	47
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,452	99.20	1,440	137
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,225	91.77	1,124	270
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	1,045	82.84	866	268

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	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,041	$1,332	7
Bred Cows	2nd/3rd Stage (4-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,087	$1,278	38
