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	1,324	122.04	1,616	4thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,319	103.06	1,359	16

Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	843	82.31	694	7thin

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
