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	1,720	91.33	1,571	34
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,504	73.14	1,100	37

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,015	49.10	498	455

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
