Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Feeder steers over 800 lbs steady to 4.00 higher; under 800 lbs lightly tested and steady to 4.00 lower. Feeder heifers 1.00-5.00 lower. Demand moderate to good for feeders. Steer calves over 500 lbs steady to 5.00 higher; under 500 lbs lightly tested and a lower undertone noted. Heifer calves over 500 lbs steady; under 500 lbs 5.00-10.00 lower. Demand moderate for calves with best demand on longer weaned calves. Several un-weaned calves included. Cattle futures closed sharply higher after a somewhat favorable Cattle on Feed report last Friday. Quality average to attractive. Weather has finally cooled off some and temps expected to be mostly in the 80's this week. Rain is still badly needed in most parts of the state. Central Oklahoma has only had 14.5 inches of rain for the year and thru August the overall average temperature for the state is now the hottest on record.

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.
