As filed

Compared to last week slaughter cows sold 2.00-3.00 higher with slaughter bulls steady to 2.00 lower. Supply was heavy with very good demand. This report combines the slaughter/replacement sale with the special replacement auction tonite. A large crowd was on hand for the replacement special. Quality was in demand as top fancy bred cows sold for up to 3100.00 per head. Internet purchasing was very active. The quality was deep in the entire auction.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

Bulls	—	Average	1,686	131.43	2,215	88
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,471	112.62	1,656	133

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	950	94.47	898	256

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.
