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	1,656	103.70	1,718	10
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,618	88.65	1,434	8thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,322	87.82	1,161	23
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,045	71.99	752	32

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	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,100	$1,425	1thin
