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	—	Low	1,456	107.34	1,563	19
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,290	94.21	1,215	54
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	854	52.27	447	7thin

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
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	900	$800	1thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young (2-4 yrs)	600	$700	1thin
