Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week, the majority of steers sold 2.00 to 8.00 higher, but a larger offering of the 450-550 lb steers sold mostly 10.00 higher with spots up to 15.00 higher on increased demand. Heifer calves sold 3.00-8.00 higher, yearlings steady. Supply was heavy and demand was good to very good with quality strings of calves and loads of yearlings making their way through the ring all day. Slaughter cows sold steady, bulls 2.00-3.00 higher. West-Central Missouri has remained wet for the last several weeks and field work and haying has basically been at a stand still, but the latter part of the week looks warm and dry with the potential to get some work done.

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.
