Market comments — USDA reporter

For NASS: This week: 3,376 cows and bulls sold with 72 percent going to packers; Last week: 3,886 head sold with 70 percent going to packers; Last Year: 2,910 head sold with 65 percent going to packers. Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 2.00 lower. Feeder heifers 2.00-4.00 higher. Demand moderate for feeder cattle. Cattle futures opened the week sharply lower as grain prices were sharply higher. Most of the week futures seemed to be correcting itself. Slaughter cattle prices moved higher on limited cash movement. Steer calves sold mostly steady. Heifer calves steady to 3.00 higher. Demand good for long weaned calves; light to moderate for others. Price spreads between the weaned and un-weaned calves widened this week as cold wet weather moved in. Temps are supposed to warm into the mid 70's next week. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls mostly steady. Packer demand moderate to good.

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.
