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	1,510	162.69	2,457	3thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,143	136.92	1,565	5thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	856	120.52	1,032	5thin

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	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	878	$1,147	2thin
