Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week's light test: Feeder steers and heifers 3.00-6.00 higher. Steer calves 8.00-12.00 higher. Heifer calves sold 4.00-7.00 higher. Demand very good for all classes. Rains moved thru the state once again this week and this helping to improve drought status in most all of the state. This has been great, however not so much for the wheat farmer as they continue to wait for pastures to dry to harvest. Currently harvest is only 22 percent complete. Some reports of wheat sprouting in the head has been reported. Drying winds of the past would be great about now. Slaughter cows sold 4.00-7.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 6.00-7.00 higher. Packer demand good.

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.
