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	1,704	113.74	1,938	16
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,273	90.64	1,154	69
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	881	68.02	599	10

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	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,500	$1,450	1thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,100	$1,125	1thin
