On the replacement side the top pair sold for 3950.00/pair and the top bred cow sold of 3700.00/head. The USDA's Cold Storage report, released Friday, reported total pounds of beef in freezers were down 1 percent from the previous month and down 1 percent from last year. The Cutter Cow Cutout increased $0.89 to $308.45, while the USDA Daily By-Product Drop Value was $14.87, down 16 cents from Tuesday.
