Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week, feeders under 600 lbs. sold unevenly steady with some better quality calves in good grazing condition selling with instances of 5.00 higher. Feeders over 600 lbs. sold steady to 5.00 lower. Markets felt more pressure as the week progressed and steady or higher prices became much harder to come by. The supply of feeders was heavy as there is still some back up from the couple weeks of winter storms. Demand was moderate but at lower price points. As always cattle with good health programs and weaning saw best demand and those with extra flesh are less desirable, as many buyers are looking to fill orders with cattle that and be turned out, go to gaining and not worried about. Feedlot trade as of the last report Friday was a bit over 76k head negotiated and prices were steady to slightly lower with live sales reported mostly 112.00-114.00 and dressed sales mostly 178.00-180.00. This makes 5 weeks that prices have more or less been unchanged. Boxed beef cutouts lost some ground last week, Choice closed on Friday at 231.33, down 9.20 and select 220.85, down 8.88 compared to the previous week. The Missouri Stocker Formula consists of 9824 head with a weighted average weight of 549.26, and a price value of 162.87, up .31 cents from the previous 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.
