Market comments — USDA reporter

For NASS: This week: 4,550 cows and bulls sold with 54 percent going to packers; Last week: 2,910 head sold with 65 percent going to packers; Last Year: 3,685 head sold with 52 percent going to packers. Compared to last week: Combined weighted average for 7 auctions: Ada, Apache, McAlester, OKC, OKC West, Tulsa, and Woodward. Feeder cattle and calves sold 2.00-8.00 higher. Demand very good for all classes. Cattle futures started the week sharply higher and then traded mixed the remainder of the week. Demand was very good for heavier weight feeders. Higher feed prices has buyers preferring to buy the weight than the feed. Moisture from the ice storm a few weeks ago, followed by warm temps helped wheat pastures. Thus farmers ready to turn calves out on wheat. Slaughter cows and bulls steady to 5.00 lower on increased numbers. Packer demand moderate.

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.
