As filed

Trade activity and demand was good. Due to this being the first replacement cow special sale of the season, there is no accurate trend available. The next special replacement sale will be November 23, 2024.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

How this sale compares

Colorado weighted averages
One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Colorado auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
