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	1,550	134.07	2,078	4thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,155	112.71	1,302	2thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	990	89.57	886	8thin

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
Stock Cows	Open	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,213	$1,150	2thin
Stock Cows	Open	(<2 yrs)	720	$875	1thin
