Compared to last week slaughter cows traded steady with slaughter bulls trading 4.00 lower. This report combines the results of the regular cow and bull sale with the replacement cow and bull sale this evening. A large crowd was in attendance for this evening sale. This sale featured several dispersals of quality herds, one of which contained over 500 lots. Quality bred cows and heifers were in demand. Supply was heavy with good demand.

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.
