A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

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	1,308	107.48	1,406	2thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,418	88.75	1,258	2thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,147	75.35	864	16
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	843	57.00	480	2thin

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	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Middle Aged/Aged (>5 yrs)	1,315	$900	1thin
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,075	$750	1thin
Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	640	$384	2thin
