Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, feeder steers 5.00-10.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs 4.00-12.00 higher, over 500 lbs 2.00-4.00 higher. Slaughter cows 4.00-6.00 lower. Demand good to very good. Supply moderate. Feeder offering featured a load of true yearling black and char cross 806 lb steers along with several other good quality red and charolais cross steers weighing 650-800 lbs. Good week to move cattle with nice weather and surging feeder contracts ahead of the hot weather and potentially crunchy grass in the extended forecast.

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.
