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	—	Low	1,677	107.43	1,801	6thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,446	89.91	1,300	17

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,033	72.01	744	43

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.

Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,055	$775	1thin
