Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 6.00 lower. Feeder heifers 4.00-8.00 lower. Steer and heifer calves 10.00-20.00 lower, conservatively. The Tuesday calf sale felt like October, front-end cattle were unweaned with alot of bulls and the thin fleshed cattle were very plain . Buyers were very cautious and definitely didn't get in each other's way on Tuesday. CME futures made big gains today. Scattered light rain is moving through the area today, with additional chances for more rain forecasted for the rest of the week.

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.
