Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 2.00 lower, 5.00 lower on those over 800 lbs. Feeder heifers 1.00-4.00 lower. Steer calves 5.00-10.00 lower. Heifer calves 2.00-6.00 lower. Demand turning moderate for feeder cattle as winter weather to the north slowed movement. Also heavy runs the last few weeks is filling feedyards up quickly, leaving one to think pens space could be limited. Cattle futures sold in the red most of the week and slaughter cattle trade moved another 1.00 lower. Weather systems continue to move thru but most of the moisture is in the east. Much of the state remains in an extreme drought and not much relief in site. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly 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.
