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	1,742	109.92	1,914	8thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,551	88.64	1,375	5thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,218	75.01	913	18
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	778	57.07	444	4thin

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)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,255	$1,075	1thin
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,005	$937	3thin
