Compared to last week: Feeder steers 3.00-8.00 higher. Feeder heifers 6.00-12.00 higher. Demand good. Steer calves unevenly steady with fly weights holding the strongest. Heifer calves 10.00-15.00 lower, as last week's extremely aggressive market couldn't be sustained this week. Front-end prices for steer and heifer calves remain strong, although supply of those higher quality cattle continued to be very limited. Overall calf quality was noticeably plainer compared to last week. Calf buyers were definitely more cautious this week, stating lack of moisture has farmers pulling back. The calf market did get stronger after the board closed, Tuesday. CME futures continue their upward swing. Storms are forecasted for tonight.

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.
