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	—	Average	1,442	121.04	1,745	5thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,346	106.84	1,438	10
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,119	100.05	1,119	18
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	723	81.06	586	6thin

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
