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	1,610	109.51	1,763	4thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,337	88.11	1,178	8thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,029	79.02	813	17

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.
