Market comments — USDA reporter

Based on limited comparisons with last week, feeder steers under 600 lbs near steady. A large offering of steers over 625 lbs sold with a higher undertone but with no recent comparable sales. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs steady to 5.00 higher with no comparisons over 600 lbs. Slaughter cows steady to firm. Demand good. Supply heavy. Several consignments of backgrounded true yearling cattle this week weighing 635-770 lbs as producers took advantage of some good cattle handling weather.

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.
