Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers near steady. Feeder heifers 2.00-6.00 lower. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 lower. Demand good. Supply heavy. Overall quality and condition was not as attractive as last week although some of the top steers weighing 500-650 lbs reached prices similar to last weeks runaway trade. Several backgrounded steers this week including a load of nice yearlings weighing 776 lbs @ 234.00. Lots of cows moving again this week although some areas did get a good shot of rain over the weekend.

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.
