Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher. The exception however was the higher quality weaned steers weighing 500-550 lbs selling up to 10.00 higher. Demand was good for a moderate supply that included five loads of yearlings steers and several attractive consignments of calves. Cattle futures have started the week higher as corn was sharply lower on Monday. Hay season is in full swing here in West Central Missouri with near perfect weather to put up hay. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 2.00 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.
