Market comments — USDA reporter

First sale of the new year. Compared to the auction from three weeks ago, feeder steers traded with a higher undertone with the 500-700 lbs mostly 5.00-10.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to firm. Many times the feeder market has traded higher in early January, and this year has started strong as well. Cattlemen continue to be optimistic that numbers will tighten and prices will rise somewhere down the road with feed cost the only big concern. Demand 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.
