Compared to the last sale three weeks ago, the best test was on the pot loads of 700-705 lb hfrs off the same consignment as last auction trading near 3.00 lower and 500-550 lb steer calves selling steady to firm, all other weights of feeder calves and yearlings sold with a lower undertone on limited comparisons. Demand was moderate to good with supply moderate with the best demand on the pot loads of 650-705 lb heifers. Both Live Cattle and Feeder Cattle futures continue to see heavy or waves of losses as Feeder Cattle contracts had losses of 5.50 to 6.35 on the front four months. Fed cattle trade last week was mostly 7.00 lower at 248.00 as feeder cattle are starting to feel the pressure. The stick out sales included the pot loads of heifers with 82 hd of thin 652 lb heifers at 414.00; pot load of 698, 702 and 705 lb heifers at 379.00. Slaughter cows were not tested.

600–649 lb Medium and Large 1 steers — head-weighted average $/cwt by sale date, last 12 months.

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.
