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	1,723	121.69	2,097	14
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,484	93.77	1,391	15

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	797	85.13	678	3thin

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	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,120	$950	1thin
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	890	$725	1thin
