Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to the last auction two weeks ago, steer calves weighing 550-600 lbs sold firm to 5.00 higher, with 600-750 lb steers and 550-700 lb heifers selling steady to firm. Three pot loads of 6 weight heifers and pot load of 725 lb steers all sold with good demand. Slaughter cows traded steady on a light test. CME cattle futures had a rough start after Labor Day closing with triple-digit losses as most commodities on Tuesday including grain, equity markets, oil all had a bearish influence and tone to start the week.

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.
