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	1,656	112.87	1,869	60
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,459	96.63	1,410	258
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,217	92.23	1,123	313
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,037	80.47	834	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)	1,132	$1,460	37
Bred Cows	2nd/3rd Stage (4-9 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	1,085	$1,300	6
Bred Heifers	2nd/3rd Stage (4-9 mo)	(<2 yrs)	780	$1,125	5
