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	1,613	93.28	1,505	4thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,087	75.99	826	3thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,035	66.71	691	9thin

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.
