Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold 1.00-3.00 lower. Feeder heifers 3.00-6.00 lower. Demand light to moderate for feeder cattle as corn futures traded mostly on the plus side forcing feeder futures lower. Demand also didn't get any help from the live cattle trade with mostly 2.00 lower sales. An interesting note for the week though was percent of feeder cattle being sold. This week, compared to last week for the state, we are down about 5 percent in cattle being sold over 600 lbs. Some individual sales showing a decline in cattle sold over 600 lbs. by about 10 percent. This a big deal as typically many cattle are moving off of graze-out wheat this time of year. Steer and heifer calves sold 2.00-8.00 lower. Many sales reporting an increase in un-weaned calves. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher, Lean cows to 5.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 1.00 higher. Demand moderate to good for cows.

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.
