A large crowd was ringside Friday evening for the Special Replacement Cattle sale at the Ozarks Regional Stockyard. The last special was in September with 1019 head. A year ago had 1613 head. Demand was very good on a heavy supply. There was an outstanding selection of bred heifers with over 400 head in the offering averaging 3599.00/head. The top draft was 14 head weighing 1012 lb. in the 2nd/3rd stage selling for 4300.00/head. Over 650 bred cows were in the offering with 51 head of M/L#1 cows averaging 3636.00/head. The top bred cow sold for 4400.00/head. There were over 160 pairs sold with the top draft being a 3 in 1 deal of young cows in the first stage with 200-300 lb. calves by their side selling for 5500.00/pair. There were 20 replacement bulls in the offering averaging 3912.00/head with the top bull selling for 5300.00/head. The market was very active with aggressive bidding all night. Buyers were happy to give these replacement cattle a new home.

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.
