Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	High	1,542	93.87	1,447	10
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,266	70.34	891	43
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	851	47.24	402	9thin

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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,100	$800	1thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	800	$775	1thin
