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
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,050	130.00	1,365	1thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	890	122.50	1,090	1thin

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	1st/2nd Stage (1-6 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	850	$1,125	1thin
Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	870	$1,050	1thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	705	$1,150	1thin
