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	1,460	107.89	1,575	18
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,204	90.11	1,085	72

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	888	67.88	602	57

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
