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	1,441	212.29	3,060	60
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,474	179.11	2,641	38

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
