Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Bulls	—	High	1,556	89.22	1,388	22
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,168	74.71	873	42
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,025	60.78	623	17

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.
