Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week, feeders sold steady to 5.00 higher. The supply of feeders was light to moderate. Oppressive heat early week kept some cattle from making it to town and recent rains over some of the driest areas of the state have provided some hope to those that haven't already sold calves earlier than usual. Overall this week's offering was pretty typical of a late summer run. Still a few loads of yearlings scattered around but offerings are becoming more calves now. Demand was moderate to good. State wide the severity of drought conditions has gotten better with the recent rains but total area has increased as some areas in Northwest MO and a small line across the Iowa boarder was added as abnormally dry in the latest drought monitor. Boxed beef cutouts closed the week mixed. Choice closed at 263.37, down 1.25 and select at 239.59, up 0.92 compared to previous week. Feedlot sales as of Friday afternoon totaled right at 98.5k head. Live sales in the south were mostly at 140.00 and in the north 144.00-148.00, with dressed sales at 229.00-230.00. The Missouri Stocker Formula consist of 3493 head with a weighted average weight of 553.14 lbs. and a price value of 198.50, up 1.26 from the previous week. The steer/heifer spread was 25.41.

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.
