Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 4.00 lower. Feeder heifers mostly 2.00-7.00 lower. Demand moderate to good for feeder cattle. Steer calves steady to 2.00 higher. Heifer calves steady to 5.00 lower. Demand moderate for most calves, except light weight calves which sold to good demand. The month of December short as far as auction markets having sales, however the few weeks of sales were very large at most all locations. Much of the state in some stage of drought thus forcing producers to sell early. Wheat in far western Oklahoma is in very tough shape due to lack of water. Fortunately a good market has made it easy for producers to sell. Mid week brought unseasonably high temperatures along with strong southerly winds and this fueled fires in some parts of the state. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady to 3.00 higher, advance on Lean cows. Slaughter bulls steady. Packer demand moderate. Demand for bred cows continues 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.
