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.
Compared to last week steers under 700 lbs sold 5.00 to 6.00 higher and over 700 lbs sold steady to 4.00 higher. Heifers under 500 lbs sold steady, 500 to 700 lbs sold 4.00 to 6.00 higher and over 700 lbs sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Demand was very good for all weights for calves and feeder cattle. Moderate to good demand for cow/calf pairs. Good demand for cows and bulls going to slaughter. Nebraska feedlots traded show list for higher money on the week. Bulk of the live sales sold 2.00 to 3.00 higher at 145.00 and dressed sales sold 4.00 to 5.00 higher at 230.00. Another week of strong thunderstorms across most of the state. These storms produced a lot of damaging winds, large amounts of hail, tore up crops and what ever was in the path of the storm. It's hard to know how many center pivots are on their side since the beginning of spring due to the strong winds across the state.
