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	—	Low	1,810	126.05	2,282	7thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,350	107.95	1,458	19
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,051	95.73	1,007	31
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	813	89.99	732	9thin

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)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,260	$1,425	1thin
Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	875	$1,100	1thin
