Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Feeder cattle and calves lightly tested as most sales closed this week due to the July 4th Holiday. Three sales were open: OKC West (feeders and calves), Southern Oklahoma Livestock Auction and Apache. Though lightly tested a higher undertone was noted on feeder cattle, few calf trades sold with a lower undertone. Numbers continue to be the driving force in the market as many expecting lighter feeder numbers are producing high prices. Summer's heat has been relentless with 100 degree days beginning to show with very little relief in site. Slaughter cows and bulls also lightly tested. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 lower and slaughter bulls sold steady.

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.
