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	1,634	115.79	1,892	26
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,109	106.78	1,185	80

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	915	91.35	836	90

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)	1,155	$1,405	44
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,038	$1,666	32
