Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week, a light test of feeders under 600 lbs. sold unevenly steady, feeders over 600 lbs. sold steady to 5.00 higher. Many sales were off or had very light offerings due to a combination of factors including the holiday week, the heat, and hay season. A few annual holiday week special sales made up the majority of this week's offering and were mostly heavy weight yearling cattle sold in load or multiload lots. Many of these cattle had attractive weight ups for buyers due to the extreme heat this past week. The weather finally provided a break and nearly every piece of hay equipment in the state found its way to the field. Producers giving a much different report on the late cutting hay as plenty of moisture kept undergrowth growing good and yields were much better than early cut hay, although quality varied depending on grass types. Cattle futures lost significant ground and are way behind the cash markets at the current time. A few stick-out sales this week was mostly weights over 600 lbs. at some of the weeks special sales. Unionville Livestock Market sold a load of 611 lb. steers for 509.50, a load of 671 lb. steers for 472.00 and a load of 735 lb. steers for 432.50. Green City Livestock Auction sold 42 head of 764 lb. steers for 410.50 and a load of 833 lb. steers for 387.50.

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.
