Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to the last report 12/17/2021: Feeder steers steady to 5.00 lower. Feeder heifers steady to 2.00 lower. Demand moderate for feeder cattle. Steer calves under 500 lbs. 4.00-8.00 lower; over 500 lbs. 2.00-5.00 higher. Heifer calves steady to 3.00 higher. Demand moderate to good for calves. Weather remains very dry and most all of the state is in some stage of drought conditions. More calves would have moved to market due to dry conditions, however extreme cold and some snow moved thru the state reducing receipts at most sales. Calf prices remain relatively strong as feeder futures down the road hold strong. Several nice loads of cattle on offer at area sales this week. Slaughter cows sold unevenly steady. Slaughter bulls 1.00-2.00 lower. Packer demand moderate. Demand good for 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.
