Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to the last auction two weeks ago, feeder steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs were lightly tested on limited comparisons but overall sold with a firm to higher undertone with the best test on the three pot loads of 705-719 lb heifers selling 11.00-15.00 higher than the pot loads from two weeks ago. Feeder calves consisted of mostly new crop calves with many unweaned/short weaned, carrying a little more flesh and one round of shots but overall quality was good and sold with good demand. Stick out sales included the three pot loads (234 hd) of heifer averaging 710 lbs at 386.25; pot load heifers weighing 828 lbs at 340.00 and near pot load of steers weighing 854 lbs at 365.75. Slaughter cows on a light test sold sold steady to firm.

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.
