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	1,591	124.24	1,977	15
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,430	105.18	1,504	19

Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	797	78.35	624	9thin

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.

Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,160	$981	3thin
