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	1,620	116.92	1,894	24
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,116	105.23	1,174	66

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	920	91.66	843	40

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)	1,198	$1,239	34
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	855	$885	6
