Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 4.00-8.00 lower. Demand moderate for feeder cattle despite numbers continuing to get tighter. Feeder cattle futures declined this week as a host of negative items hit the markets, higher grain prices, lower Boxed Beef prices. Steer calves sold mostly steady to 4.00 lower, decline on the 5 weights. Heifer calves 1.00-3.00 lower. Demand moderate to good for calves with short weaned or un-weaned calves seeing the least action. Many cattle continued to come to market early due to drought and the lack of hay or high hay prices. Temperatures remain in the low to mid 90's and no rain in the near forecast for the next week. The calendar says it will be fall next week, however summer is still hanging on. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady, except Boner cows and they were 3.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold 3.00 higher. Market continues to hold strong, even after the large run of cows this week. Packer demand moderate to 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.
