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	1,895	100.00	1,895	1thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,433	66.72	956	9thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	986	48.70	480	8thin

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	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,380	$975	1thin
Bred Heifers	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	(<2 yrs)	985	$920	1thin
Bred Heifers	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	(<2 yrs)	935	$850	1thin
