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 over 750lbs 5.00-10.00 lower. There were no number 1 cattle under 750lbs that sold on Wednesday. All 600-700lbs steers sold Tuesday at 5.00-10.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 lower. Buyers described the market as being all over the place. Good-quality cattle would have sold at steady money, but quality was limited throughout the sale. Overall buyers were cautious and showed very little aggression on anything today. Steer calves over 500lbs 5.00-10.00 higher, under 500lbs steady. Heifer calves not enough comparables either this week or last week to set a trend but a firm undertone noted. The calf market held together very well on Tuesday despite several negative factors: CME cattle futures closed in the red Tuesday, quality was mostly plain, and hot and dry conditions continue with little relief in sight. Calf buyers remained surprisingly positive and demand held up better than expected.
