Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Receipts sharply lower at most auctions as a winter storm moved thru the state early in the week. Feeder steers sold steady to 2.00 lower. Feeder heifers 1.00-3.00 lower. Demand moderate. Cattle futures traded in the red much of the week as grain futures made big gains. Slaughter cattle trade has yet to develop in the south at the time of this report and packers trying to push lower as feedyards are looking for more money. Steer calves sold 1.00-3.00 lower. Heifer calves 3.00-5.00 lower. Instance to 20.00 lower on 300-400 lb steer and heifer calves. Demand moderate for calves. Much of the state did receive some moisture and more is on the way for next week. Slaughter cows sold 5.00-7.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 3.00 higher. Demand good for cows on lighter numbers.

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.
