As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded steady to 2.00 lower and slaughter bulls traded steady. Demand was moderate on a heavy supply of slaughter animals and a moderate supply of replacement cattle. The growing season ended earlier than normal as the area woke up to sub-freezing temperatures this week. Receipts were higher than usual as drought conditions continue to increase.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Average	1,610	90.49	1,456	52
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,449	69.70	1,010	151

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	915	55.61	509	293

Replacement cattle Per head
