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	1,620	100.00	1,620	1thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,143	80.16	916	8thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,480	80.00	1,184	1thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	964	60.83	586	11

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
