Good day, due to all the rain and nasty weather to few cattle to get any trends.

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
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,255	64.00	803	1thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	915	50.00	458	1thin

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)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	900	$750	1thin
Bred Cows	1st/2nd Stage (1-6 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	830	$650	1thin
