Market information provided by USDA
04 FEB '26
Compared to the last sale, two weeks ago, slaughter cows and bulls sold 3.00-6.00 higher. Demand was good on a light supply. Even with above freezing temperatures, ice packed gravel roads continue to make it difficult to transport cattle. The top slaughter bull sold for 216.00/cwt. and the top slaughter cow sold for 188.00/cwt. On the replacement side, the top bred heifers sold for 3500.00/head and the top bred cows sold for 2900.00/head while pairs were not well tested. The quality of the offering was below average as higher quality animals are waiting to sell at the special replacement sale this Saturday. The USDA's Cold Storage Report released last week reported total pounds of beef in freezers were up 3 percent from the previous month but down 4 percent from last year.
