Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers sold in an uneven manner, from 5.00 lower to 5.00 higher and heifers mostly weak to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Several nice mid sized consignments on offer this week that buyers were able to fit together but with anything packing some extra flesh or hair seeing less demand on what was one of the first hot days of the season. Supply and demand 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.
