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.
**Correction: 59lb sow deleted. 705lb barrow and gilt deleted. Compared to last week, slaughter barrows and gilts 100 lbs to 200 lbs sold lower. Slaughter barrows and gilts 200lbs to 350lbs sold unevenly steady. Slaughter sows sold steady on a light comparison. Slaughter boars 200 lbs to 400lbs sold weak. Slaughter boars 400 lbs to 640 lbs sold steady. Buyer demand was good to moderate on a moderate supply for the slaughter hog sale.
