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	1,627	161.91	2,635	57
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,441	130.39	1,879	144
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,217	129.26	1,573	179
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	1,016	116.88	1,188	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)	1,243	$1,825	8
Bred Cows	2nd/3rd Stage (4-9 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	1,060	$1,470	20
