Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Bulls	—	High	1,582	100.02	1,582	8thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,471	80.82	1,189	6thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	805	48.17	388	11

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
