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.
*** Close *** Compared to last week: All classes lightly tested due to several days of temps over 100 degrees, conditions not conducive to moving cattle. Market as a whole began lower, however as the sale progressed, many sales moved back to steady with last week. Feeder steers steady. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 lower. Steer and heifer calves steady. Despite a sharp decline in cattle futures at market opening, buyers remained actively engaged and were not allowing futures prices to influence their purchasing decisions.
