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	1,624	112.19	1,822	12
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,430	94.22	1,347	7thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,105	79.97	884	43
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	828	78.34	649	8thin

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)	1,270	$1,270	1thin
Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	730	$622	2thin
