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	1,489	116.60	1,736	9thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,274	97.45	1,242	9thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,064	87.03	926	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)	1,065	$1,150	1thin
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,355	$1,100	1thin
Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	1,019	$925	1thin
