Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week, steers sold uneven, with the calves under 500 lbs selling sharply higher, but heavier weights selling 5.00-8.00 lower. However, just like last week there were instances where some thinner, fancy grazing steers sold firm. Heifers sold uneven as well, mostly from 5.00 higher to 5.00 lower with the gain on those under 575 lbs, but the calves under 400 lbs sold with a higher undertone. Demand was very good for the few true grazers left and the calves under 475 lbs, moderate to good for mid-weight calves and yearlings. There's been pressure on the market this week with the shutdown of a JBS plant in Greeley, CO due to a worker strike, but after Monday's losses the board responded well on Tuesday, gaining most of it back but it has affected the yearling market. Supply was moderate. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady.

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.
