As filed

This report combines the regular/slaughter replacement sale with the special replacement sale tonite. Compared to last week slaughter cows and bulls traded steady to 2.00 lower. In the special sale bred cows sold up to 2,150 per head with pairs selling up to 2,800. 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	1,444	95.23	1,375	114

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.
