Market comments — USDA reporter

*** Close *** Compared to last week; Feeder steers 5.00-10.00 lower. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 lower. Steer and heifer calves not well tested and very limited sales 10.00-20.00 lower. Several un-weaned calves included. Demand for feeder cattle turned moderate when cattle futures made the flip to trading into the red. Cattle futures started the day higher as slaughter cattle trade once again pushed thru record highs last week. Boxed beef prices also opened the day higher. Cattle futures ultimately closed lower and remain very volatile. The realities of fewer cattle numbers continue to take a back seat to other things happening in the industry. On another note, some rains reached most all of the state over the weekend but amounts were anywhere from a trace to 2.5 or 3 inches. Quality mostly average.

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.
