Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves under 550 lbs sold mostly steady following last weeks higher market but heavier calves and yearlings sold mostly higher with steers weighing 550-625 lbs selling 8.00-15.00 higher, spots 20.00 higher and the majority of steers over 625 lbs steady to 6.00 higher while yearling heifers sold 10.00-13.00 higher. A stick out set of 7 weight thin steers sold sharply higher and some steers over 800 lbs sold with a higher undertone. The cattle market is bullish and continues to impress. Its a broken record, but large numbers continue to move due to dry weather and/or short grass and very strong market conditions. Supply was heavy and demand was good to very good.

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.
