Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

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.

Every lot, as filed

14 lots · USDA AMS · Christian Co. Livestock - Hopkinsville, KY

Nothing removed and nothing rounded — the same lots as the USDA report, with per-head values added.
