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	1,739	113.20	1,969	50
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,457	94.03	1,370	233
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,217	90.29	1,099	259
Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	1,014	76.47	775	176

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)	1,104	$1,317	14
Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	969	$1,294	9
