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	1,582	100.02	1,582	8thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,471	80.82	1,189	6thin

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.

Cow-Calf Pairs	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,005	$1,238	2thin
