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	1,438	117.11	1,684	4thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,217	108.40	1,319	24
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	969	88.95	862	16

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	2nd/3rd Stage (4-9 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,115	$1,385	16
