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	1,864	92.39	1,722	9thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,349	78.44	1,058	4thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,142	75.27	860	5thin

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
Cow-Calf Pairs	2nd/3rd Stage (4-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,310	$1,400	1thin
