Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week feeder steers sold steady to 5.00 higher with instances sharply higher. Heifers were mostly steady to 2.00 higher with instances to 8.00 higher. Yearlings were sharply higher. There was good demand for all feeder and yearling classes with best interest for long weaned packages and groups. Slaughter cows were unevenly steady, ranging from 2.00 lower to 2.00 higher, and slaughter bulls sold mostly steady with good demand for slaughter classes.

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.
