Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to the last auction two weeks ago, 500-550 lb steers sold 3.00-5.00 lower, with 550-650 lbs trading steady to firm, 650-700 lbs and a pot load weighing 815 lbs sold with a firm to higher undertone, with 700-750 lbs selling 2.00-5.00 higher. Feeder Heifers best test was 550-600 lbs selling mostly steady and a pot load weighing 625 lbs selling with a firm undertone. Slaughter cows on a light offering sold steady. The only weakness was on 500-550 lb steers with a good offering of steers weighing over 600 lbs all selling with good demand with good weighing conditions sold on and active market.

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.
