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 600 to 800 lbs steady to 4.00 higher, 800 to 1000 lbs 5.00-10.00 lower conservatively. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 lower with 750 lb heifers 15.00 lower on lesser quality. Steer calves and heifer calves in a very light comparison unevenly steady. Quality ranged from fleshy to fancy. Demand good. Today's sale exemplified the ideal combination of condition and genetics, with any cattle exhibiting either trait fetching the highest prices.
