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	1,570	116.39	1,827	11
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,005	87.87	883	4thin

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)	Aged (>8 yrs)	1,120	$1,025	1thin
