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	1,512	129.49	1,958	3thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,185	117.00	1,386	2thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	978	92.50	904	2thin

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)	780	$777	3thin
Stock Cows	Open	Aged (>8 yrs)	918	$750	2thin
