Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Bulls	—	Average	1,560	120.30	1,877	6thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,228	98.03	1,203	6thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	950	86.05	817	6thin

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.
