As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls were steady. Demand was good on a moderate supply which included two herd sellouts. The top slaughter cow brought 129.00/cwt. while the top slaughter bull brought 175.00/cwt. The top Bred Cows brought 2550.00 per head and top pairs brought 3050.00 per pair. The USDA's Cold Storage report, released last week, reported that the total pounds of beef in freezers were up 5 percent from the previous month but down 3 percent from last year.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
