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%	Low	1,278	92.12	1,177	6thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,058	92.00	973	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.

Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	—	$1,225	2thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Aged (>8 yrs)	—	$950	4thin
