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.
Market report for today's Special Bred Female and Pair Auction with fall calves and feeders The auction started the day with 425 weigh-up cattle, then onto 19 baby calves off the cow, ranging from $650 to $1,700. Pairs were in good condition with calves tagged to match. Fall-bred females calving August through September consisted primarily of black and black-white-faced offerings bred to black Angus and Hereford bulls. Some producers brought cattle to town today to reduce pasture numbers due to short grass conditions. Next Auction Date June 19th with Weigh-Ups and June 26th Special Calf and Feeder Auction
