Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to the last sale three weeks ago, steers under 700 lbs and all weights of heifers sold 7.00 to 10.00 higher with several spots sharply higher. Steers over 700 lbs steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher with some high dressing cows up to 4.00 higher. Quality was indeed better than the sale three weeks ago which contributed to the higher market but overall demand and buyer activity was also greatly improved. Feeder cattle contracts suffered sharp losses at the CME Wednesday but that had virtually no impact on the local trade. Supply moderate, demand good to very good.

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.
