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	1,473	102.54	1,510	7thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,405	78.91	1,108	18
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	955	50.00	478	2thin

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
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	850	$600	1thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Aged (>8 yrs)	850	$400	1thin
