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	1,419	117.78	1,671	20
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,457	101.25	1,475	12

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,005	83.40	838	22

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
