Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves mostly steady to 3.00 lower, yearlings traded steady to firm, on comparable sales. This was a light receipts week, mostly blamed on the increased precipitation throughout the state. Some areas got freezing rain and some snow while others saw flooding, making it difficult to transport cattle. In feedlot trade, there were some live purchases in the north from 100.00 to 104.00 and at 106.00 in the southern plains. A few dressed sales were reported from 158.00 to 163.00. The futures markets were able to hold their own, as outside markets took a tumble this week. Live cattle futures closed on Thursday 2.92 to 4.40 higher, when compared to last Friday. Feeder cattle futures were 2.93 to 6.07 higher, compared to last Friday. The October contracts saw the minimal gain, as they are set to expire on Friday. We are starting to look towards holiday demand in the coming weeks. Cutouts closed on Thursday at 207.32 and 191.23, for Choice and Select, respectively. They were able to gain back some ground Thursday, essentially erasing the losses from Tuesday and Wednesday. Last week’s Cattle on Feed report showed 104 percent on feed, 106 placements, and 106 percent marketed. The on feed inventory totaled 11.7 million head as of October 1; the highest inventory since 1996, when the series began. Net placements totaled 2.17 million head and marketings totaled 1.85 million head. Friday’s Missouri Stocker Formula consists of 2,742 head with a weighted average weight of 545.16 lbs. and a price value of 143.57, 0.44 higher than Thursday and 2.23 higher than last Friday.

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.
