Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers under 550 lbs sold 1.00 to 3.00 lower, heavier weights 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Heifers under 650 lbs 3.00 to 6.00 higher with heavier weights tacking on a full 10.00. Slaughter cows steady. A nice mix of cattle on offer this week with more heifers on hand than steers thanks to several large groups of backgrounded heifers. Nearly all of this week's consignments were long time weaned. Supply moderate, demand good.

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.
