Special Note: For NASS: This week: 619 cows and bulls sold with 57 percent going to packers; Last Week: 2,210 head sold with 59 percent going to packers; Last Year: 1,180 head sold with 55 percent going to packers. Compared to last week: Combined weighted average for 5 auctions: Ada, McAlester, OKC, OKC West, and Tulsa. Feeder steers and heifers sold steady to 2.00 lower. Steer calves 3.00-8.00 lower and heifer calves steady to 4.00 lower. Demand light to moderate. Freezing temperatures and a winter mix moved across the trade region this week limiting cattle movement. Many auctions canceling their sales this week. Heavy snow and negative temperatures are expected over the weekend and many auctions have already canceled sales for next week. Combined weighted average for 3 Slaughter/Replacement cattle auctions: McAlester, OKC, and Tulsa. On a very light test, slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 1.00-2.00 higher. Packer demand 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.
