Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 2.00 higher. Feeder heifers 2.00-4.00 higher. Demand good for feeder cattle. Stocker cattle sold 3.00-8.00 higher with grass accounts turning very active this week. Steer and heifer calves sold steady to 5.00 higher. The bulls dominated the cattle futures this week as corn futures sold mostly lower. Carcass weights continue to decline some because of the continued winter storms in the north. Slaughter rates have become lighter as well as those cattle are not gaining at the highest of levels. On the other hand, cattle in the south have had good feeding conditions but just dealing with many days of high wind and dust. Rains continue to move thru the state with the bulk of the moisture in the East and South East. Slaughter cows continue to move higher as numbers become lighter. Slaughter cows 3.00-4.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 5.00 higher. Demand very good for all classes of cows.

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.
