Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week, steer calves gained back the losses from last week and sold 10.00-20.00 higher and the yearling steers sold firm to 5.00 higher. Heifer calves sold steady to 10.00 higher and yearlings weren't well tested last week but sold with a weak undertone to the sales from two weeks ago. Demand was good to very good as buyers shook off some bearishness and were more aggressive following last week's holiday shortened week. Supply was moderate to heavy and the quality was attractive. Slaughter cows sold steady to 4.00 lower, bulls steady to 3.00 higher.

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.
