Compared to last week, Steers sold steady to 5.00 higher with good demand overall, with Dairy Steers selling firm compared to a light test last week. Heifers and Dairy Heifers sold 4.00-6.00 higher. Bulls sold steady to 3.00 higher. Breaking Cows sold steady to 2.00 lower, with boning Cows selling steady to 3.00 higher, and lean Cows selling sharply higher. Due to the ethnic holiday this weekend, demand for lean and lightweight slaughter cattle was strong, and those cattle selling at a premium were tagged with the 'Lightweight' description. Buyer attendance for the slaughter cattle sale was moderate to heavy, with good demand overall on a heavy sale supply. Feeder dairy calves sold weak. Buyer demand was moderate on a heavy supply likely due to the holiday on Monday.

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.
