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	1,460	126.02	1,839	10
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,467	124.91	1,833	10

Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,159	107.99	1,251	22

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.

Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,085	$1,625	1thin
Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,215	$1,475	1thin
