Market comments — USDA reporter

*** Add Close with actual receipts *** Compared to last week: Feeder steers mostly steady. Steer calves 5.00-15.00 higher. Feeder heifers and heifer calves steady to 5.00 higher. Grazing type steers and heifers sold up to 25.00 higher. Demand good for all classes, especially lighter weights and or thinner fleshed cattle. When it comes to stockers or lighter weights it is a gotta have'em type attitude, regardless of the very dry conditions from Central Oklahoma and West. Quality mostly average, few attractive. Temperatures reached near 100 in parts of the state over the weekend and to add to it high winds again with very little humidity. Many fires were reported across the state on Sunday.

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.
