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	1,457	108.54	1,581	27
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,461	93.79	1,370	116

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	959	72.20	692	118

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 Stage (4-6 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,003	$883	6
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	798	$1,006	7
