Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, steer calves under 700 lbs on a light offering sold mostly steady, with a few over 700 lbs not well tested. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs were lightly tested with heifers over 600 lbs on the pot loads selling 4.00-10.00 higher than the pot loads of similar weights and quality form two weeks ago. Demand was good, best on the pot loads of heifers with a moderate offering. The highlight of Tuesday's sale was 6 pot loads of heifers with 3 pot loads weighing form 584 to 593 lbs all with good weighing conditions sold with very good demand and 3 pot loads of top quality heifers weighing from 645 to 700 lb also selling with very good demand. Slaughter cows were lightly tested on a light offering.

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.
