Reading this report
What does "Medium and Large 1" mean?
USDA feeder grades describe frame size and muscle thickness, not quality of the individual animal. "Medium and Large" is the frame score; the number is muscle (1 = heaviest muscled). "Medium and Large 1–2" pens mix both muscle scores — common across the Southeast.
What is $/cwt?
Dollars per hundredweight — per 100 lb of animal. A 500-lb calf at $450/cwt brings 5 × $450 = $2,250. Lighter cattle usually bring more per cwt but less per head.
Why are some prices per head?
Bred cows, cow-calf pairs, and some replacement classes sell by the head, not by weight. We show those exactly as USDA reports them — a $/head figure is never converted into $/cwt on this site.
Where do these numbers come from?
From the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service's Livestock Market News — federal reporters at the sale. We publish each report in full and link the official USDA document at the top of the page.
Compared to last sale: Feeder steer steady to 5.00 higher, over 900 pounds 7.00-10.00 higher on better quality cattle. Feeder heifers 5.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves too light to test. Quality attractive with few fancy and several drafts of replacement heifers. Demand strong. Multiple severe storm warnings have been issued across the state for the next few days, until we see a significant rainfall amount burn bans will remain in effect for our area.
