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	—	Low	1,338	116.63	1,560	16
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,270	95.98	1,219	42
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,547	91.33	1,413	10
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	965	75.44	728	37

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	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,068	$1,187	2thin
