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	1,721	96.33	1,658	17
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,355	86.47	1,172	34
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,139	79.36	904	50
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	955	66.12	632	23

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	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	1,300	$800	1thin
