Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Feeder steers over 800 lbs steady to 2.00 lower; under 800 lbs 3.00-8.00 lower. Feeder heifers mostly steady, 600-700 lbs 5.00 higher. Demand moderate to good for feeder cattle and buyers more particular for kind. Crossbreds or cattle built for warmer type weather are starting to see a bigger discount as we head into October. Steer calves mostly steady. Heifer calves 5.00-10.00 higher. Demand good for calves following the much needed rains late last week. Quality mostly average.

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.
