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	1,622	147.04	2,385	67
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,232	113.41	1,397	226
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,481	112.75	1,670	226
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,055	97.38	1,027	210

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)	1,289	$2,208	35
Bred Cows	2nd/3rd Stage (4-9 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	1,232	$1,752	20
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Aged (>8 yrs)	1,065	$2,000	8
