Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week, a light test of 400-500 lb steer calves sold 4.00-8.00 lower, with 500-600 lb steers selling steady to 5.00 lower and 650-700 lbs sold mostly 3.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs were lightly tested selling mostly in small packages traded with a steady to weak undertone, with three pot loads of good quality 630-720 lb heifers selling steady on comparable sales. Demand was moderate to good on a very hot day with supply light to moderate. Slaughter cows on a very light test sold near steady.

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.
