As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls sold 4.00-6.00 lower. There was a moderate supply of bred cows and slaughter animals and a light supply of pairs. Demand was good on replacement cattle and moderate on slaughter animals. Boxed Beef Cutout Values continued their downward trend with Choice Cuts down 6.00 from a week ago. Cutter 90% Cutout Values dropped over 4.00 on Wednesday to 285.23. Pasture conditions have greatly improved over last week with much of the southern region receiving good soaking rains over the weekend.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
