As filed

This report combines the regular slaughter/replacement sale with the replacement sale this evening. Compared to last week Breaker and Boner slaughter cows traded 3.00-5.00 lower with Lean slaughter cows trading steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls traded 4.00-6.00 higher. In the evening replacement sale bidding was very active including internet bidding.

A package of 4 year old third stage bred cows traded at 2,600.00 per head. High quality third stage 2 year old heifers traded at 2,200.00 per head. Supply was heavy with very 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.

Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,436	87.14	1,252	163

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	967	65.44	633	372

Replacement cattle Per head
