Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Bulls	—	High	1,656	210.94	3,493	20
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,520	175.39	2,665	37

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	1,044	143.63	1,499	79

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
