Market comments — USDA reporter
Good day, as compared to last market feeder calves steady and slaughter cows steady, slaughter bulls 2-3 higher. Sold some nice Brangus open heifers 7-820 lbs. $785.00-1050.00. Also sold split load steers and heifers 32 steers average wt. 917lbs @ $1.18 per lb. And 21 heifers average wt. 938 lbs. @ $ 1.12 per lb.
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.
