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	1,664	105.64	1,758	9thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,427	94.82	1,353	18
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,145	81.21	930	78
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	824	57.03	470	13

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.

Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,005	$1,040	1thin
