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	1,560	112.25	1,751	11
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,417	97.40	1,380	14
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,114	86.30	962	19
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	675	83.75	565	2thin

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)	1,420	$1,375	1thin
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	847	$757	4thin
