As filed

Compared to the last sale, two weeks ago, slaughter cows and bulls sold 3.00-6.00 higher. Demand was good on a light supply. Even with above freezing temperatures, ice packed gravel roads continue to make it difficult to transport cattle. The top slaughter bull sold for 216.00/cwt. and the top slaughter cow sold for 188.00/cwt. On the replacement side, the top bred heifers sold for 3500.00/head and the top bred cows sold for 2900.00/head while pairs were not well tested. The quality of the offering was below average as higher quality animals are waiting to sell at the special replacement sale this Saturday. The USDA's Cold Storage Report released last week reported total pounds of beef in freezers were up 3 percent from the previous month but down 4 percent from last year.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Average	1,664	193.55	3,221	38
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,185	165.61	1,962	33

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,000	134.78	1,348	72

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
