We present approximate solutions to the coupled system of Dyson-Schwinger equations for the ghost, gluon and quark propagator in Landau gauge QCD. We employ ansätze for the vertices such that both the running coupling and the quark mass function are independent of the renormalisation point. Furthermore we obtain the correct anomalous dimensions for all propagators. We find an infrared weakly vanishing gluon propagator and an infrared singular ghost propagator [1,2,3]. This is in accordance with the Kugo-Ojima confinement criterion as well as Zwanziger’s horizon condition. The running coupling has an infrared fixed point at α(0) = 8.92/N_c [1]. The dynamically generated quark masses agree well with phenomenological values. Our solutions for the propagators are in good agreement with the results of recent lattice calculations
