As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were steady and bulls were 2.00 lower. Demand was good on a moderate supply. The top slaughter bull sold for 210.00/cwt. and the top slaughter cow sold for 178.00/cwt. The top pair sold for 3400.00 and the top bred cow sold for 3300.00/head. Income from cattle sales was higher than usual this year, increasing the tax liability for producers. This Friday's Special Cow and Bull Sale will be an opportunity for cattlemen to make some capital purchases. The consignment includes 200 Blk/BWF Fancy Bred Heifers, 150 3-5 year old Blk/BWF Bred Cows, 200 6-8 year old Blk/BWF Bred Cows, 45 Fancy Red Angus Cows with 20 pairs, 71 Beefmaster Bred Heifers and many more. Information can be found at the Ozarks Regional Stockyard FaceBook page.

Slaughter cattle

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
