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.
Compared to the last special two weeks ago, steer calves under 700 lbs sold with a firm undertone on a light offering and test, 700-850 lbs steers sold 3.00-5.00 higher on comparable sales and weights. Feeder heifers weighing 400-600 lbs sold 2.00-4.00 higher and over 600 lbs sold fully steady. A very active market on yearling steers over 700 lbs especially the pot load of 823 lb yearling steers coming off grass sold with very good demand as the yearling steers over 700 lbs all sold with good weighing conditions, good quality and the kind order buyers are after. CME cattle futures on Tuesday had a very good day of trading with triple-digit gains.
