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	1,694	117.40	1,988	10
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,264	95.13	1,202	51

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	869	72.31	628	35

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)	900	$785	1thin
