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.
Compared to last week: Feeder steers 6.00-12.00 higher. Feeder heifers 5.00-10.00 higher. Quality was average with several drafts of fleshy steers. The steer turn was the complete opposite of last week with the market getting stronger towards the end of the sale. Steer calves over 500lbs 15.00-20.00 higher, under 500lbs lightly tested. Heifer calves 10.00-20.00 higher. Calf quality plain to average with mostly good flesh. Tuesday's offering included several drafts of summertime cattle that sold very close to number 1 money. Temperatures are forecasted to be close to 100 on Saturday.
