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	—	Low	1,582	107.95	1,707	26
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,070	91.05	974	56

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	874	78.66	687	72

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	1st/2nd Stage (1-6 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,000	$1,280	44
