Compared to last week slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 3.00 higher. Supply was heavy with very good demand. This report combines the slaughter/replacement auction with the replacement sale tonight. Several hundred high quality replacement cattle were in the offering. The top bred cows sold for 2,800 per head and the top cow-calf pairs sold for 3,400. There was standing room only for this last auction of the year with 3,060 head in the sale offering. This was the largest cow auction this year at JRS. The total number of cattle sold by Joplin Regional Stockyards this year is just under 550,000 head.

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	—	Low	1,580	113.88	1,799	77
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,429	95.03	1,358	209

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,015	79.75	810	182

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
