Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers steady to 3.00 higher with very good demand. Cattle futures began the week sharply lower following declining economic indicators. However the market can't get away from the thought of a summer with lighter available feeder numbers and a current status at the feedyard. Steer calves 3.00-5.00 lower. Heifer calves steady to 2.00 lower. Demand moderate as high heat and humidity moved across much of the country. Slaughter cows 6.00-7.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 1.00-2.00 higher. Demand extremely good for cows and bulls as limited numbers seem to be ruling this market as well.

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.
