A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

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	1,669	106.72	1,781	11
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,292	75.16	971	16
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,385	69.18	958	15
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,027	65.85	677	11

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.

Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,302	$1,400	9
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,190	$1,274	12
