As filed

A large crowd was on hand for this Douglas County Livestock Auction as temperatures moderated and rain was in the area. Feeder steers traded 6.00-10.00 higher with feeder heifers trading 3.00-7.00 higher. Slaughter cows traded 3.00-6.00 higher. Not enough slaughter bulls for a comparison. Supply was moderate with good demand.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
