Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,362	85.72	1,168	5thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,181	73.97	874	4thin

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.

Bulls	N/A	(<2 yrs)	1,200	$1,350	1thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,285	$1,300	1thin
