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	—	High	1,804	122.84	2,217	11
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,429	107.08	1,531	23

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	999	89.85	897	27

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.
