Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold 3.00-5.00 higher with improved demand. Steer and heifer calves unevenly steady. Demand moderate to good for calves. Some sale barns reporting an increased number of new crop calves. Weather has turned unseasonably cool and in the mid 50's to 60's where normal is near 80. That pattern is expected to change this week and storms chances are in the forecast for most everyday of the week.

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.
