Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week, steer calves under 550 lbs sold with a higher undertone and heifer calves which were better tested last week sold 5.00-10.00 higher with spots 15.00 higher, yearlings sold steady. Demand was good for a moderate supply with a fairly even mix of calves and yearlings. Cattle futures were sharply lower Tuesday but that seemed to have little to no effect on the cash feeder market. The spectacular growing season thus far has pressured corn, which is hovering around the $4.00/bu mark and could be considered "cheap" and most operations are in a much better feed supply situation than the last several years.

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.
