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	1,531	118.09	1,808	7thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,313	108.87	1,429	8thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,102	92.45	1,019	3thin

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)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,150	$1,325	1thin

31 lots · USDA AMS · Southwestern Sales Co. - Huntingdon, TN
