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.
New Cambria's February Bred Cow/Heifer sale was on the light side with receipts but highlighted by several consignments of good quality black bred heifers all in the 3rd stage selling with good demand from 4450.00-4625.00 per head. Also in the consignment was several groups of bred cows mostly 4-7 yrs of age in the 3rd stage also selling with good demand with pairs scarce. There were 80 slaughter cows in the total head count.
