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. Feeder steers steady to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers mostly steady. Demand good for feeder cattle. Steer and heifer calves not well tested. Many un-weaned calves included. Demand moderate for calves. High heat and extremely dry conditions is limiting demand for calves, especially un-weaned calves. Numbers continue very limited. Yes it is hot, but it is summer and it is August. Numbers of feeder cattle and calves are tight as good markets had producers pulling cattle early and this practice has caught up with us. Most cattle auctions selling maybe half of what they did a year ago. Quality plain to average, few attractive.
