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	1,646	112.45	1,851	69
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,453	93.56	1,359	169
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,206	90.18	1,088	398
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	1,018	78.66	801	235

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.
