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	1,780	104.57	1,861	17
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,409	93.33	1,315	31

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,026	75.73	777	13

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 Heifers	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	(<2 yrs)	930	$1,125	1thin
Bred Heifers	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,080	$1,025	1thin
