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	1,690	103.62	1,751	13
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,371	88.62	1,215	29
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,281	88.08	1,128	34
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,002	76.75	769	22

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
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,240	$1,440	5
