Market comments — USDA reporter

Special Note: For NASS: This week: 2,749 cows and bulls sold with 59 percent going to packers; Last Week: 2,506 head sold with 68 percent going to packers; Last Year: 1,931 head sold with 62 percent going to packers. Compared to last week: Combined weighted average for 7 auctions: Ada, Apache, McAlester, OKC, OKC West, Tulsa, and Woodward. Feeder steers and heifers sold steady to 6.00 lower. Steer calves at the beginning of the week sold steady to 4.00 higher and had instances of 6.00-8.00 lower at the end of the week. Heifer calves steady to 1.00 lower. Demand moderate. Unseasonably warm temperatures were present across the state this week and may continue into next week. Corn futures continued to rise this week and have limited demand for feeder cattle and made feedyards leery. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter bulls steady to 4.00 higher. Packer demand moderate to good.

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.
