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	1,500	122.57	1,839	6thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,631	106.05	1,730	4thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	950	88.58	842	32

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.
