Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to the last tested auction from three weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers steady to 3.00 higher. Cattle quality varied throughout the day as did the lot sizes, with four pot loads of yearlings offered as well as many small packages of both calves and yearlings. Receipts were good for this time of year as usually May and June are slow with hay and crop planting taking up most of everyone's time. Demand moderate to good and supply moderate.

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.
