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	—	Low	1,646	105.78	1,742	17
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,189	81.38	967	63
Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	832	48.97	407	6thin

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.
