Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week's very light test: Feeder steers and heifers mostly steady. Steer and heifer calves sold 4.00-8.00 higher, 500-600 lbs holding steady. Demand, again very good for all classes. Sharply higher slaughter cattle prices and good clearance out of feedyards has helped to boost feeder demand. Demand for light weight calves is extremely good despite the very dry conditions across much of the state and the up coming forecast doesn't show much moisture coming for wheat country. Only 2 weeks of auctions left before the holidays and those sales expected to be large. Slaughter cows sold 4.00-5.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 2.00-3.00 higher. Demand good for both packer and replacement cows.

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.
