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	1,626	126.05	2,050	10
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,382	101.92	1,409	27
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,208	99.64	1,203	93
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,086	91.45	993	41

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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,095	$1,378	2thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,300	$2,625	1thin
