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	1,509	123.80	1,869	17
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,284	105.15	1,351	97
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	904	72.36	654	17

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.
