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.
*** Add Close with actual receipts *** Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers steady to 3.00 lower, 600-700 lb steers 10.00-15.00 higher. Steer calves steady to 5.00 higher. Heifer calves up to 25.00 higher. Demand moderate to good. Bullish Cattle on Feed report last Friday with the lowest on feed number since 2017 and the lowest January placement since 2007. Cattle futures traded in the red on Monday. Again, reiterating what we have been saying for a while, numbers remain very tight but other happenings in the industry are weighing the cattle futures down. Quality average to attractive. Weather remains extremely dry with another worry of wildfires coming on Tuesday. Looks like some wheat cattle are being pulled a little early and at lighter weights.
