As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls traded 2.00-3.00 higher. Bred cows traded 75.00-100.00 higher and pairs traded 125.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply. The latest USDA's Cold storage report had beef in freezers down 2 percent from the previous month but up 1 percent from a year ago.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
