Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week feeder steers and heifers firm to 10.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 higher. Demand good to very good. Supply light. Not a real good test of the market this week with mostly smaller consignments but prices were higher on packages of any numbers and quality. The cattle market is beyond anyone's wildest dreams at this point with fed cattle another 7.00-10.00 higher last week selling from 240.00-244.00/cwt in the north. Lighter run as the vast majority of feeders have already left the country and with several producers in the hay field this week.

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.
