Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week, feeder sold uneven with steers under 650 lbs and heifers under 575 lbs trading steady to spots 5.00 higher and heavier calves and yearlings selling 3.00-5.00 lower. Supply was heavy and the overall quality was attractive with several loads of yearlings and strings of long weaned home raised calves. There has been some pressure on the market this week with the recent Cattle On Feed report being considered bearish, which sent futures lower while corn has seen some gains. However, the nations herd is in decline and there is still plenty of optimism in the market.

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.
