Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

Bulls	—	High	1,412	103.16	1,457	32
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,490	87.14	1,298	6thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	935	74.90	700	30

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.
