Slaughter cows 4.00-7.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 1.00-3.00 higher. Quality was average. Lighter cattle were in high demand.

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	1,165	65.75	766	30

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.
