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	—	High	1,518	125.41	1,904	9thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,244	105.19	1,309	70

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	889	81.07	721	40

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.
