Market comments — USDA reporter

No recently tested market for a price comparison, undertone higher. This was the first day of the Annual Beef BBQ Customer Appreciation Sale, featuring yearlings on Monday and calves on Wednesday. Roughly 30 straight loads of yearlings moved through the ring on Monday, all from well known local reputation producers. Weigh up ran the gamut throughout the day but the steer loads sold later in the day were pretty empty. Buyer numbers were fairly limited but buyer power was not; most of the loads, particularly the heifers, went to a very small number of outlets but still at some pretty salty prices. 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.
