Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 10.00-15.00 higher. Feeder heifers 8.00-12.00 higher. Demand very good for feeder cattle post holiday. Steer and heifer calves sold mostly steady. Demand remains good for calves as recent moisture has improved the drought situation greatly. However, wet conditions are delaying wheat harvest. Other sections of the industry are extremely bullish as well. Slaughter cattle prices rose sharply this week with live trades in the south reaching 185.00 and dressed sales in the north at 300.00. Beef prices moving on up as well. Slaughter cows seemed to have reached their top and sold steady to 3.00 lower. Slaughter bulls steady. Packer demand moderate while demand for replacement cow was extremely good.

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.
