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	1,515	125.96	1,909	11
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,415	107.99	1,528	22
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,147	98.73	1,133	44
Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	832	95.38	794	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
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	900	$1,425	1thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young (2-4 yrs)	863	$1,013	2thin
