Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to the last sale three weeks ago, steer calves and yearling steers were lightly tested on limited offering of comparable sales but all sold with a higher undertone, heifers had the best test on 700-750 lbs trading 9.00-15.00 higher with all other weights selling with a higher undertone on a light offering. Bulk of the feeder steers weighed 650-915 lbs with the bulk of the heifers weighing 650-750 lbs all sold with good demand. Slaughter cows on a light test sold steady with the last auction.

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.
