Market comments — USDA reporter

Based on limited comparisons with last week, steers and heifers mostly steady with a few packages of weaned steer calves 5.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady. Demand moderate to good. Supply light. The latest feeder index is nearly 3.00/cwt higher with lower corn and another low placement number expected in the upcoming Cattle on Feed report. Very warm day with rain and more seasonal temperatures in the immediate 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.
