As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls were 3.00-6.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Slaughter bulls continue to set new records with the top bull bringing 206.00/cwt. The top slaughter cow brought 156.00/cwt. Replacement cattle outnumbered slaughter animals almost 2 to 1 with the top bred cows bringing 2750.00/head and top pairs going for 2850.00/pair. Much needed rain fell over night and into the morning with reports of less than one-half inch to over 5 inches in isolated areas. The USDA released it's Cold Storage report on Wednesday and reported total pounds of beef in freezers were down 3 percent from the previous month and down slightly from last year.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
