Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Feeder steers unevenly steady. Steer calves sold 5.00-10.00 lower. Feeder heifers and heifer calves steady to 2.00 higher. Demand moderate to good. Numbers somewhat lighter this week as mid-week winter storm had some auctions canceling or moving sales up in order to miss the ice and snow. Ice and snow did come as expected and was a welcome site as much of the state in desperate need of moisture. Temps fell into the single digits and will only reach the mid 30's by the weekend. Stark reminder that it is still winter. Slaughter cattle prices moved higher as slaughter rates improved. Beef prices moved lower after a brief move higher. Slaughter cows sold 1.00-3.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 1.00-2.00 higher. Demand good as cow numbers begin to decline.

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.
