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	1,743	119.45	2,082	2thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,277	96.33	1,230	4thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,075	81.84	880	2thin

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.
