Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Feeder steers traded 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Feeder heifers traded mostly steady to 2.00 higher. Not enough comparable sales on steer or heifer calves but a sharply higher undertone was noted. Trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand. Quality was plain to attractive, with flesh being the largest determinant on price. Slaughter cows and bulls were too lightly tested for a market trend but a slightly lower undertone was noted. Temperatures have been in the upper 60's and 70's, but a cold front moving through today has provided a chance of moisture to the trading area later this week.

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.
