Market information provided by USDA
20 MAY '26
Compared to last week slaughter cows and bulls were steady to 2.00 higher with most of the gain on high dressing cattle. Demand was good on a moderate supply of bred cows and slaughter animals and a light supply of pairs. The top slaughter bull sold for 258.00/cwt and the top slaughter cow sold for 200.00/cwt., both at or near record prices for ORS. On the replacement side, the top pairs sold for 5000.00/pair and the top bred cows sold for 4100.00/head. Hay harvest has been delayed as rains moved acrossed the area with hopes it will help with increasing yields once the field dry out.
