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	1,606	126.71	2,034	16
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,453	117.55	1,708	17

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	944	89.95	849	26

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)	1,188	$1,437	4thin
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	1,045	$1,400	1thin
