Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last sale: Slaughter bulls too light to test. Slaughter type cows boners and breakers steady - 2.00 higher. Lean cows, in a light test, 3.00 lower. Demand moderate to good. Quality average. Due to extreme high temperatures, moderate humidity, and little to no wind, numbers this week very limited for cattle coming into the barn. Orders for cattle returning to feed limited this week, as this heat wave has caused heat induced stress and even death for numerous head of cattle. Temperatures in the triple digits are forecasted to continue through Saturday of this week, though the excessive heat warning will end at tonight at10:00 PM for our area.

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.
