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	1,467	125.01	1,834	13
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,332	119.59	1,593	9thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	962	92.88	893	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)	850	$1,500	1thin
Bred Heifers	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	(<2 yrs)	780	$975	1thin
Heifer Pairs	Open	Young (2-4 yrs)	950	$1,950	1thin
