As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls traded 3.00-4.00 lower. Demand was good on a heavy supply of bred and slaughter cows and a moderate supply of slaughter bulls and pairs. Five herd dispersals provided a good selection of bred cows. The USDA's Cold Storage report, released last week, reported total pounds of beef in freezers were up 1 percent from the previous month and up 24 percent from last year.

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%	High	1,426	78.76	1,123	82

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
