Compared to last sale: Feeder steers and heifers 5.00-15.00 lower conservatively. In a light test, steer calves 5.00-10.00 lower. Heifer calves too light to test. Demand moderate to good. Buyers were selective and conscientious today, not straying far from their order cards. Quality ranged from plain to average. Front end quality cattle were few today. Condition, genetics, and vaccinations played a huge role in today's sale. From our last sale June 30, 2026 until today, the cash market took a downturn due to pressure from the Board of Trade. Given the recent market turbulence, the CME Group increased daily trading limits for Feeder Cattle futures to $10.75 per hundredweight. CME Feeder Futures closed down 4.725 today.

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.
