Market comments — USDA reporter

No recently tested market for a price comparison. Steers and heifers sold with a higher undertone, sharply higher in many spots as the local cash market played catch up to the recent gains for feeder trade. Slaughter cows also traded sharply higher, mostly 6.00 to 10.00 higher. Really high quality on hand for the Annual Green Chop Special featuring a string of yearling load lots plus several part loads that fit together nicely. Buyers were very active throughout the day and easily absorbed the cattle on offer. Supply heavy, 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.
