Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 3.00 higher and demand was good. Supply was moderate to heavy following the holiday last week with dry weather to move cattle and temps warming up. Overall, the quality was good and the majority of cattle were in moderate flesh. Quite a bit of progress has been made in the field over the last week with hay being put up and beans going in the ground as we have the summer type weather most had been hoping for. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly 2.00-4.00 higher.

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.
