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	1,670	95.00	1,587	1thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,350	86.01	1,161	3thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,105	78.98	873	3thin

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
Bulls	N/A	(<2 yrs)	910	$1,000	1thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,175	$1,540	1thin
