Compared to last week, slaughter cows sold steady while slaughter bulls were 1.00-2.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply of bred cows and slaughter animals and a light supply of pairs. The top slaugher bull sold for 242.00/cwt. and the top slaughter cow sold for 198.00/cwt. Taking a look at the replacement animals, the top pairs sold for 5000.00/pair and the top bred cows sold for 3700.00/head. The USDA's Cold Storage Report, released Friday, reported total pounds of beef in freezers were down 2 percent from the previous month and down 3 percent from last year. Scattered rains and storms this past week added moisture to the soil, but most of the area continues to be well below average rainfall for the year.
