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	—	Low	1,388	106.79	1,482	5thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,401	91.70	1,285	4thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,504	82.18	1,236	7thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,081	75.38	815	12

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)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,045	$1,077	2thin
Bred Heifers	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	(<2 yrs)	675	$900	1thin
