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	1,574	124.01	1,952	9thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,176	115.61	1,360	38

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	943	82.46	778	10

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.
