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	1,169	90.74	1,060	7thin

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
