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	1,682	116.74	1,964	6thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,422	83.66	1,190	22

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	730	58.03	424	4thin

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
Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	935	$888	2thin
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,040	$750	1thin
