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: In a light comparison; Feeder steers over 500 lbs 10.00-12.00 higher. Feeder heifers 2.00-8.00 lower on lesser quality. Steer calves 10.00-20.00 higher conservatively. Heifer calves steady to 10.00 lower. Buyers guardedly aware of the futures boards, cattle genetics and vaccinations. Mid-sale a rainstorm moved in bringing up to an inch of precipitation to the barn and slowing movement of cattle through the ring.
