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	1,566	91.60	1,435	18
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,439	65.15	938	13

Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,164	58.79	684	38

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 Heifers	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,388	$1,033	3thin
