As filed

Compared to the previous week, slaughter cow prices remained steady, while slaughter bulls saw an increase of $2.00 to $3.00 per hundredweight (cwt). Demand was reported as good for slaughter animals and very good for replacement cattle. However, overall supply was very light due to extreme heat warnings across the region, which likely limited cattle movement. The top slaughter bull brought $227.00/cwt, and the top slaughter cow sold for $174.00/cwt. Among replacement cattle, the highest-selling bred cows reached $3,450.00 per head, while the top cow-calf pairs sold for $4,500.00 per pair. According to the USDA's Cold Storage Report released Friday, the total pounds of beef in cold storage were down 3 percent from the previous month and 1 percent lower than the same time last year, indicating a tightening in available beef supplies.
