Compared to last week: Feeder steers 2.00-10.00 higher, 6 weights to 20.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 higher. Demand good for feeder cattle. Cattle futures has started the week strong, especially on feeder cattle, following a down day last Friday. Weaned steer and heifer calves 20.00 higher. Un-weaned calves very uneven and depended on quality. Calf demand moderate to good. Quality mostly average to attractive. Still seeing some nice loads of feeder cattle. Rains fell in many areas of the state over the weekend and temperatures have cooled down. Temperatures will be up and down with more chances of rain expected for the week.

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.
