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	1,468	91.93	1,350	7thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,240	93.90	1,164	7thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	1,032	74.27	767	7thin

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 Stage (4-6 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	900	$700	1thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,168	$1,510	10
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,200	$1,413	4thin
