Market comments — USDA reporter

*** Add Close with actual receipts *** Compared to last week: Feeder steers over 700lbs 2.00-4.00 lower, under 700lbs 1.00-4.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 lower. Steer and heifer calves steady to 4.00 higher. Demand moderate to good. Condition very uneven. Quality plain to fancy. The quality and condition contributed to a very up and down market. Bitter cold weather has returned but temperatures will warm up by the end of the week.

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.
