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	1,570	116.91	1,836	13
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,314	99.46	1,307	13
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,216	91.82	1,117	23
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,045	83.19	869	16

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	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,110	$1,000	1thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,025	$1,450	1thin
