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	1,943	106.55	2,070	6thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,520	91.52	1,391	11

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,100	85.23	938	6thin

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	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	918	$1,400	9
Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,355	$1,350	1thin
