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	1,685	121.96	2,055	35
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,253	106.76	1,337	124
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,192	103.23	1,231	112
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,027	96.56	992	247

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)	1,082	$1,213	5
Bred Heifers	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,007	$1,363	8
