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 steers over 600 lbs 5.00-15.00 higher conservatively, with the 700 lb weight class being 10.00 lower on lesser quality. Feeder heifers too light to test due to limited receipts this week but a slightly lower undertone noted. Steer calves mostly steady. Heifer calves 10.00-15.00 lower. Demand strong. Quality average to attractive. Cooler temperatures outdoors and new sellers indoors brought a new optimism to the sale and fresh energy to the barn.
