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	1,721	96.33	1,658	17
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,355	86.47	1,172	34

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	955	66.12	632	23

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
