Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last sale: Slaughter bulls steady. Slaughter type cows mostly steady. Demand strong both in the barn and online as several new buyers attended the sale today. Quality average to attractive. Due to fires, ongoing drought and record setting temperatures we had a 200 head herd disbursement in the barn today, along with 260 lightweight calves straight off the cow (calves not included in this report). Temperatures look to remain in the triple digits for the next few days before dipping into the mid 90s.

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.
