Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week's light test: Feeder steers steady to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers 10.00-15.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves mostly steady, except 500-600 lb heifer calves up to 25.00 higher. Demand very good for feeder cattle. Several fleshy and or full cattle included and these selling near the average or even the top of the price range of last week. Quality improved with the day and average to attractive. Slaughter cattle trade improved late last Friday with mostly 248.00, few 249.00 in Texas and Kansas and 248.00-250.00 in Nebraska. Several un-weaned calves included early in the sale. Beneficial rains fell in many areas over the weekend with more to come this 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.
