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	1,385	96.00	1,330	1thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,456	85.99	1,252	16
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,138	72.57	826	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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,440	$1,200	1thin
Bred Heifers	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	(<2 yrs)	830	$725	1thin

Every lot, as filed

48 lots · USDA AMS · Macon Stockyard - Macon, MS
