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	1,315	117.00	1,539	1thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,610	94.00	1,513	1thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,212	86.48	1,048	6thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,056	74.87	790	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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	856	$680	4thin
