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	—	High	1,606	118.58	1,905	18
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,181	103.83	1,226	74
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,025	95.27	977	16
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	982	88.73	871	42

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/3rd Stage (4-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,140	$1,283	16
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,025	$1,484	16
