As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls were 2.00-5.00 lower. Demand was good on a moderate supply of slaughter animals and a heavy supply of replacement cattle. The top slaughter bulls sold for 200.00/cwt. and the top slaughter cow sold for 155.00/cwt. On the replacement side, the top pair sold for 4150.00/pair and the top bred cows sold for 3500.00/head. One stick-out draft was 30 head of 1156 lb. third-stage bred heifers which sold for 4000.00/head. There were several herd dispersals including 275 cows from one farm. Lack of water was a contributing factor for such a large offering which was the largest Wednesday sale since April 2025.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

Bulls	—	High	1,668	181.51	3,028	48
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,504	131.73	1,981	87

Replacement cattle Per head
