Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week, steers and heifers traded mostly steady to 3.00 higher, spots 5.00 to 8.00 higher on mid-weight steers. Demand moderate, supply light. The state got some moisture this past week, giving a welcomed break from the heat, albeit a short break. Some areas had flooding, but pastures soaked up the water and greened up. The most recent crop progress report from last week showed 49 percent of pastures rated good condition and 31 percent in the fair category. With the most recent rains, those numbers will most likely be improved with this week's report. Friday's boxed beef cuts closed lower from the previous week with 8.92 lower for Choice and 11.39 lower for Select cuts, at 336.42 and 302.13, respectively. Negotiated cash sales totaled just over 60,000 head for the week, as of Friday's report. Live sales were reported from 123.00 to 127.00 and dressed from 200.00 to 203.00. Estimated daily livestock slaughter as of Saturday’s close was at 624,000 head, 27,000 less than a week ago and 11,000 less than a year ago. Monday's Missouri Stocker Formula consisted of 3375 head with a weighted average weight of 551.53 lbs. and a price value of 171.78, 0.71 higher than last Monday.

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.
