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	1,565	142.56	2,230	12
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,405	118.06	1,658	43

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,098	110.80	1,217	181

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	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,215	$1,708	14
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	1,241	$1,464	6
