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	—	Average	1,790	115.88	2,075	18
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,293	109.68	1,418	7thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,229	99.57	1,224	81
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,075	86.66	931	146

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)	1,104	$1,298	13
