Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week, feeders sold steady to 5.00 higher. The supply of feeders was heavy with more cattle across all weight ranges this week. Demand was good especially for the feather weight thinner fleshed calves. Bidding was active from start to finish of a long day coming from both buyers setting in the seats and from those placing bids over the internet. Overall quality wasn't quite as attractive as last week and some of the tops on the mid weight steers wasn't met this week but overall the market was undoubtedly stronger. Slaughter cows sold steady.

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.
