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	1,800	84.83	1,527	18
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,397	66.45	928	19
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,188	64.54	767	18
Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	994	46.25	460	21

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)	1,250	$1,075	1thin
