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	1,736	94.99	1,649	7thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,453	80.94	1,176	4thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,095	64.16	702	19

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.
