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	—	High	1,962	97.14	1,906	11
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,435	72.04	1,034	448
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,230	70.88	872	436

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)	995	$1,500	5
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,245	$1,250	5
