Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week, steers and heifers traded unevenly steady, mostly 2.00 lower to 2.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 lower. Quality ran deep into the sale again this week with most weights and classes of cattle trading right around the same ranges as last Thursday. Some of the unweaned/unworked cattle did have a harder time finding a new home, no doubt in part due to the pending weather change with a forecasted 50 plus degree drop in temperatures. Demand good, supply moderate.

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.
