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	1,600	86.69	1,387	4thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,074	64.69	695	10
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	968	42.47	411	8thin

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.

Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	962	$807	3thin
Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,120	$700	1thin
Bred Heifers	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	(<2 yrs)	930	$900	1thin
