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	1,654	119.31	1,973	8thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,366	94.61	1,292	16

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,034	82.07	849	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)	Young (2-4 yrs)	965	$1,063	2thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,010	$1,660	5
