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	1,748	91.00	1,591	3thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,361	81.27	1,106	8thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,256	67.09	843	13
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	823	49.68	409	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 (5-8 yrs)	955	$500	1thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young (2-4 yrs)	800	$700	1thin
