Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Feeder cattle sold steady to 2.00 higher with moderate to good demand. Steer calves steady to 2.00 lower. Heifer calves under 500 lbs 5.00-8.00 lower; over 500 lbs steady to 2.00 lower. Demand light to moderate for calves as dry conditions persist, especially in the western part of the state. High winds all week continue to zap moisture out of the soil. Just under 9 percent of the state is rated in the Exceptional drought category, 32 percent in extreme drought. 85 percent of the state is in an abnormally dry condition or worse. Slaughter cows 1.00-3.00 lower. Slaughter bulls 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.
