Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 2.00-4.00 higher. Steer calves 3.00-6.00 higher. Heifer calves 3.00-8.00 higher. Demand very good for all classes. Cold front pushed thru the state bringing some much needed moisture to some parts of the state. Markets remain very volatile as oil prices and grain prices ride the giant roller coaster. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-3.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 1.00-2.00 higher. Demand good for 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.
