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	1,723	123.50	2,127	2thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,333	97.33	1,297	5thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,152	84.99	979	11
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	800	70.00	560	1thin

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	Young (2-4 yrs)	845	$900	1thin

Every lot

67 lots · USDA AMS · WNC Regional Livestock Center - Canton, NC

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
