Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Too few feeder cattle sold this week to develop an accurate market trend, however steady undertones were noticed on both steers and heifers of similar quality compared to the previous week. Demand this week was mostly moderate to good for light offerings. Quality was mostly plain to average this week and lower than last week's heavy offering of attractive feeders. The bulk of the feeder cattle offering were offered in small sized packages or as singles this week, no load lots were seen. Quality and light offerings hampered demand as buyers were not able to gather full loads of like quality calves. Light calves under 450 lbs sold on good demand again this week as buyers can slow grow these offerings and sell them at a later date. The best demand continues to be for cattle suitable to develop into yearlings. CME positions struggled much of the week as some profit taking was seen. Fundamentally, market positions remain strong with higher CME feeder cattle index prices seen and higher prices on slaughter cattle in very light volume. Market activity was mostly moderate to active this week, however a smaller buyer pool was noted. Weigh up cows sold on good to very good demand for light to moderate offerings. Quality this week was mostly average to attractive but overall not as attractive as last week. Packers showed mostly good demand for slaughter cows this week, but good to very good demand for feeding cows. Early week all cows were purchased to slaughter as supplies remain short. Slaughter cows sold steady on breaking cows. Boning and lean cows sold unevenly steady from weak to 3.00 higher. Feeding cows suitable to feed to premium white sold mostly steady to firm. Slaughter and feeding bulls sold steady to 4.00 higher. Young age cows suitable to feed or rebreed sold steady to weak on a lower quality offering. Demand remains good for high quality offerings.

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.
