Dairy cull cows marketed through U.S. slaughter plants in May lowest since 2008.
Despite high beef prices, a smaller dairy herd and higher demand and prices for dairy cow replacements have now impacted cull cow slaughter rates for over a full year.
Based on latest USDA monthly data released June 18, the number of dairy cull cows marketed through U.S. slaughter plants in May 2025 was estimated at 196,700. While down 10,500 from April, it was 19,300 fewer than May 2024 and the lowest May total since 2008.
