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	—	Low	1,645	113.33	1,864	3thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,150	90.00	1,035	1thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	955	84.00	802	1thin

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	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	1,225	$1,110	1thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Middle Aged/Aged (>5 yrs)	1,075	$1,565	1thin
