Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to the last auction two week's ago, steer calves weighing 400-650 lbs sold steady to firm, with over 650 lbs lightly tested. Feeder heifers weighing under 550 lbs quality was not as attractive as two weeks ago with mostly new crop calves carrying flesh, 550-650 lbs sold mostly steady and two pot loads weighing 670-680 lbs sold steady to 3.00 lower than similar loads from two weeks ago. Slaughter cows on a much lighter offering sold steady. Demand was moderate to good, with best demand on 400-650 lb steer calves and a good quality offering of three pot loads of 6 weight heifers selling with good demand.

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.
