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	—	Low	1,479	108.80	1,609	12
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,226	91.76	1,125	4thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	955	82.12	784	4thin

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.
