Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 3.00-8.00 higher. Feeder heifers 2.00-5.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves sold 6.00-12.00 higher. Demand extremely good for all classes. Slaughter cattle moved higher this week, gaining 1.00 in the south and 4.00-5.00 on a dressed bases in the North. Cattle futures trading mostly in the green. Good gains across the Texas Panhandle and in Western Oklahoma this past week is definitely taming the drought conditions in those areas. Up to 8 inches fell in some areas. Some areas seeing green pastures that haven't seen this in some time. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 1.00-2.00 higher. Packer demand good. Demand also good for Bred cows and Pairs.

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.
