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	1,496	105.99	1,586	10
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,441	91.47	1,319	21

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	816	77.22	630	10

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	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,405	$1,150	1thin
