Price trend
950–999 lb Medium and Large 1 steers — head-weighted average $/cwt by sale date, last 12 months.
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.

Compared to two weeks ago: best test on steers 900 to 999 mostly steady, 1000 to 1049 lbs 3.00 lower. Heifers not well tested two weeks ago for comparison. A large offering of strings and loads, both home raised and back grounded, most of these were big, finishing type cattle. Good to very good demand for cattle today. Flesh varied, but most cattle carried some extra flesh as feeding conditions have been good. One consignment of steers off grass in light to moderate flesh. Quality mostly average to attractive, many similar quality and weight cattle to fill big pens. An active market with buyers determined to procure cattle when offered as sales become less frequent which is normal for this time of year. No sale next week due to the 4th of July, watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
