Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Bulls	—	Average	1,626	101.93	1,658	16
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,304	90.62	1,182	7thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,044	68.72	717	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.
