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	1,641	112.72	1,849	6thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,238	91.08	1,128	9thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	929	65.21	606	3thin

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)	Young (2-4 yrs)	925	$995	2thin
Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	898	$935	2thin
