Compared to last week, feeders sold mostly steady with spots 5.00 higher. Although slightly smaller than the previous week it was another big week for cattle movement in the state. There was still plenty of reputation cattle offered at various sales overall however most reporters noted quality was a bit less attractive with fewer big, long strings compared to the previous week. This was especially true for lighter weights as gooseneck load sized drafts were about as big as it got rather than seeing pot load sized drafts. The market has been incredible the last month nearly every barn has been able to sale a few drafts of something at prices they have never before seen. The feeder cattle index set a new high early last week only to surpass it later in the week on Thursday toping at 263.07. This has seemed to encourage many producers to market cattle a bit earlier and at lighter weights than what might be typical for their specific operation. There has also been a lot of special replacement sales held the last couple of weeks allowing the opportunity for producers to grow the factory if they so desire. Prices and demand tend to support at the very least that there has been shift from liquidation to maintaining if not starting to perhaps grow. There no doubt has been a tremendous number of cows leave the farm and herd dispersals with some producers having no plans to return to production so there is a wide number of factors to overcome in order to see any real growth. One thing that isn't a factor currently at least is feed, there is a more than ample supply of corn and hay that can be fed at a relatively low cost. A few stick-out sales this week included 18 head of 421 lb. steers at Joplin Regional Stockyards which sold for 425.00. Kingsville Livestock Auction has several stick out sales this week which included 18 head of thin 349 lb. steers at 460.00 and 52 head of 703 lb. steers at 287.50.

Interstate Regional Stockyards sold 25 head of 641 lbs. steers at 323.00.

Negotiated feedlot sales as of the Friday afternoon report totaled 75K head as of the 2:00 report cutoff time. A few sales were reported very early this week at steady to slightly higher money and the markets seemed to gain strength the longer the week went on resulting in some wider spreads this week. Live sales were reported from 191.00-196.00 and dressed sales from 298.00-305.00 with a couple of instances of 312.00 and 315.00.

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.
