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	—	High	1,544	112.38	1,735	28
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,135	99.05	1,124	60
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,025	89.44	917	12
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	950	85.00	808	18

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.

Bred Cows	2nd/3rd Stage (4-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	928	$1,060	30
