Livestock Markets 



The markets for cattle can be divided into three major segments; for 

 slaughter, for dairy herd replacement, and for purebred breeding. There 

 may be some overlapping of these uses. For example, a heifer sold to a 

 dealer for slaughter may be diverted to replacement stock and the purebred 

 sales will probably also include dairy herd replacement. In general, how- 

 ever, there are three separate markets and three sets of prices.
