Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week, calves sold steady to 5.00 lower while yearlings traded steady to 3.00 higher. The calf run is starting to pick up, evident by heavier receipts this week, but there were still some loads and packages of yearlings offered which saw good to very good demand. Calves saw mostly moderate demand with the quality up and down and the majority carrying some flesh and/or un-weaned/short weaned, but the the higher quality calves on a health program saw good demand. Supply was moderate to heavy.

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.
