As filed

Compared to last week slaughter cows sold 3.00-7.00 lower with slaughter bulls steady. Supply was heavy with good demand. This report combines the slaughter/replacement auction with the replacement sale tonite. Leading off the replacement portion of the auction was a group of fancy registered Charolais bulls leading the sale with the top bull at 3,200. The top selling bred cows sold for 2,600 with the top selling cow-calf pairs at 3,150.

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	1,451	100.12	1,452	188

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.
