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
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,323	129.28	1,710	3thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,648	123.50	2,035	2thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,170	79.07	925	3thin

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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,090	$2,520	5
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	720	$2,000	1thin
