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	1,730	149.57	2,588	65
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,494	128.22	1,916	120
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,201	124.75	1,498	110
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	969	100.73	977	119

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)	1,075	$1,743	22
