Currently the average beef cow will weigh 1200-1400 pounds when ready to be marketed - the weight has dropped slightly due to recent surges in corn prices (a major component of feed in feedlots) and the drought in Texas that is drying out pasture lands.
A mature beef cow kept for breeding can weight up 1700 pounds, more if she is in late pregnancy.
Average beef cattle weigh in around 1600 lbs. But this all depends on the breed, as some breeds will often weigh more than others.
