Market comments — USDA reporter

***Close*** Compared to last week: Receipts limited due to winter storm late last week. Much of the state seeing anywhere from 3-7 inches of snow. Much of this snow drifted due to high winds and unfortunately most of the snow landed in sidebars and ditches. Demand extremely good for the light run. Feeder steers and heifers 2.00-6.00 higher, instance 8.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves 5.00-10.00 higher. Quality average to attractive.

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.
