Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold 1.00-2.00 lower. Feeder heifers 2.00-3.00 lower. Stocker cattle and calves sold 3.00-6.00 lower. Demand moderate for all classes. Cattle futures struggled to stay out of the red most of the week as grain futures continue to push higher. Slaughter cattle movement was good, however prices there have remained in the $137-$138 range in Texas and Kansas for sometime. Slaughter cows and bulls steady to 1.00 lower. Packer demand moderate.

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.
