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	1,446	113.33	1,639	13
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,304	97.33	1,270	73
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	942	78.59	740	16

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.
