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	1,765	188.09	3,319	47
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,222	159.25	1,946	181
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,461	158.74	2,319	97
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	1,005	137.10	1,377	154

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
