Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 4.00 lower, most decline under 750 lbs. Steer calves 3.00-5.00 lower. Feeder heifers and heifer calves sold mostly steady. Large run of cattle at all reported auctions this week as dry weather continues and not many chances of moisture in the extended forecast. Demand moderate. Lighter weight cattle are seeing limited outlets as much of the wheat pasture has not had enough moisture for growth and enough growth to sustain cattle. Slaughter cattle prices just holding steady as beef prices have slipped some thru the week. Cow numbers continue fairly large at area markets as well and this had limited demand. Slaughter cows 3.00-4.00 lower. Slaughter bulls 2.00 lower.

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.
