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	—	Low	1,575	111.72	1,760	73
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,477	92.74	1,370	142
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,204	89.81	1,081	206
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,008	77.13	777	157

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.

Bred Cows	2nd/3rd Stage (4-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,195	$1,359	22
Bred Cows	2nd/3rd Stage (4-9 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	1,233	$1,274	18
