As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls were steady. Demand was good on a moderate supply slaughter animals and a heavy supply of replacement cattle. The top slaughter bull sold for 256.00/cwt. and the top slaughter cow sold for 197.00/cwt. On the replacement side the top pairs sold for 5100.00/pair and the top bred cows sold for 4700.00/head. The USDA's Cold Storage Report was released Friday and reported the total pounds of beef in freezers was up slightly from the previous month but down 3 percent from a year ago.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
