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	—	Low	1,630	81.97	1,336	3thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,139	62.00	706	3thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,150	43.00	495	2thin

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
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	—	$725	1thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	—	$1,010	2thin
