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	—	Average	1,446	113.33	1,639	13
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,304	97.33	1,270	73
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	942	78.59	740	16

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)	1,002	$1,404	9
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	865	$1,200	1thin
