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	1,637	111.00	1,817	5thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,501	95.98	1,441	17

Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,133	85.28	966	29

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.
