Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 15.00-25.00 lower. Steer and heifer calves 20.00-30.00 lower with spots up to 40.00 lower. Demand moderate. Quality plain to average, weaned cattle coming off grass was in the buyer's favor today. Hot and dry conditions continue to reduce receipts, with triple-digit temperatures expected over the next 10 days. CME futures are trading sharply higher today but did little to help the cash market.

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.
