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	1,730	165.41	2,862	36
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,273	138.36	1,762	75
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,522	136.31	2,075	45
Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	1,052	116.93	1,230	52

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)	1,314	$2,172	8
Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,255	$2,087	4thin
