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 4.00-14.00 lower with the biggest decline on heavy weights. Feeder heifers over 750lbs 8.00-13.00 lower, under 750lbs 5.00-8.00 lower. Both steer and heifer runs started even lower than quoted but did improve as the sale progressed. Thin-fleshed eared cattle were not discounted as heavily today, as buyer interest was driven more by flesh condition than overall quality. Steer calves 5.00-10.00 higher in a limited supply of number 1 cattle. Heifer calves steady to 5.00 lower. Bulk of calf supply consisted of either unweaned or soft fleshy short-weaned cattle. Calf quality did improve from very plain to plain by the end of the sale. Parts of Oklahoma received rainfall over the past week, but showers remained scattered and inconsistent. Some producers commented that pasture conditions resemble what is typically seen in August. After losses on Monday and Tuesday, CME futures traded in the green today. Fed cattle trade continues to set records with northern live sales reaching 265 and dressed sales up to 410, while southern trade brought 262.
