Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week, feeders sold 10.00 to 20.00 higher. Supply was light to moderate, but cooler weather for the first half of the week allowed some producers to feel better about moving a few cattle. Demand is good, although buyers are selective and discounts are being applied to the lighter weight calves without shots, weaning, or excessive hair, that come with a bit more risk. The cattle complex showed a bit of life again this week as most sectors of the market showed gains this week. A few replacement sales were noted to have very good demand with large crowds on hand and some very impressive prices for quality take home stock. Once again stick-out sales on drafts over 20 head mainly was heavier weight cattle. Joplin Regional Stockyards sold 31 head of 508 lb. steers for 480.00 and 62 head of 804 lb. steers for 362.00.

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.
