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	—	Average	1,681	99.17	1,667	15
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,196	67.95	813	52
Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	895	51.84	464	5thin

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.
