As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00-5.00 higher. Demand was very good on a moderate supply. We continue to see record prices for slaughter animals with the top cow bringing 158.50/cwt. and the top bull bringing 190.00/cwt. Replacement cattle are also in demand with the top bred cows bringing 2350.00/head and the top pairs bringing 3000.00 per pair. Spring rains have helped pasture conditons and in between rains many are cutting and baling hay.

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	1,388	137.29	1,906	87

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
