Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Bulls	—	Low	1,515	96.18	1,457	5thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,197	71.67	858	3thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,064	61.08	650	25

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.
