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	1,666	101.40	1,689	16
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,214	78.94	958	48
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	894	64.13	573	8thin

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.
