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	—	Average	1,583	191.98	3,039	3thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,216	159.49	1,939	6thin

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	Aged (>8 yrs)	1,300	$2,600	1thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,100	$2,150	1thin
