Market comments — USDA reporter

For NASS: 2,324 cows and bulls sold with 73 percent going to packers; Last week: 2,778 with 65 percent going to packers; Last year: 1,776 with 66 percent going to packers. Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 2.00 higher. Feeder heifers sold 1.00-2.00 higher, except over 800 lbs 3.00-6.00 lower. Demand moderate to good for feeder cattle. Steer calves sold 1.00-5.00 lower. Heifer calves steady to 3.00 higher. Demand moderate to good for calves. More new crop or un-weaned calves beginning to make their way to the market. Several nice cattle off grass made their way to auction this week and this reflected with market toppers on some reports, however quality has dropped off indicating the summer grass run is close to being done. The late winter storm extended grass season this year as many parts of the state remain very green for late July. Summers heat is back though and that green grass will quickly turn to brown. Slaughter cows sold 1.00-5.00 lower, Breaker cows at the most decline. Slaughter bulls sold steady to 2.00 lower. 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.
