Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 3.00 lower, except 600-700 lbs up to 6.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 2.00 higher. Demand moderate for feeder cattle. Slaughter cattle sold cheaper this week and numbers were fairly light. Beef prices, on the other hand are moving higher as slaughter rates are lower verses a year ago. Steer calves sold 3.00-10.00 higher. Heifer calves 2.00-5.00 higher. Demand very good for calves despite the very dry conditions across the state and large numbers of calves coming to market. Calf market is being fueled by higher feeder futures in late summer and fall. Slaughter cows sold firm to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 3.00 higher. Packer demand moderate. Several higher quality bred cows and pairs available at auctions this week due to the dry conditions and these sold to very good demand.

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.
