Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers mostly steady. Demand moderate to good for feeders. Steer calves 3.00-5.00 higher. Heifer calves steady to 5.00 lower. Demand moderate to good for calves. Slaughter cattle traded mostly steady in the south this week while northern trade turned lower. Beef prices were mixed as the Choice/Select spread widened, ie. choice product moved higher while selects declined. Spring rains came thru mid-week with beneficial moisture for some and damaging tornados and hail for others. Western Oklahoma remains dry as storms missed this area. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-6.00 lower. Slaughter bulls remained steady. Packer demand moderate.

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.
