Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Most early week sales were light as they were still dealing with last week's winter storm and conditions making it difficult to ship cattle. Demand extremely good for all classes as light numbers seemed not enough to go around. Feeder steers sold 5.00-10.00 higher. Feeder heifers were 2.00-8.00 higher. Steer calves 10.00-15.00 higher. Heifer calves traded 6.00-8.00 higher. Moisture from the snow was good but many reporting that much of the snow drifted and ended up in the ditch. Weatherman is promising good rains coming in for the middle of next week. Slaughter cattle prices held at 140.00 this week but Feeder futures for Spring and late Summer have advanced making lighter weight cattle appealing to buyers. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 5.00-10.00 higher and sold to very good demand. Lighter numbers also fueling demand for slaughter cows and bulls.

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.
