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	—	Average	1,737	92.01	1,598	52
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,438	64.82	932	197
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,218	61.67	751	270
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,056	49.01	518	287

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/3rd Stage (4-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,104	$1,044	30
