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	1,735	93.81	1,628	3thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	948	63.12	598	3thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,014	39.18	397	9thin

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	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,151	$846	5
Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	750	$650	1thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,424	$955	5
