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	1,653	185.80	3,072	80
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,494	155.48	2,322	165
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,203	150.95	1,816	245
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,036	134.08	1,389	243

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.
