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	—	High	1,897	123.92	2,351	5thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,209	109.02	1,318	4thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	909	88.38	804	7thin

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.

Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,318	$1,702	8
