Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Feeder steers mostly steady. Feeder heifers steady to 3.00 higher. Demand good despite several days of cattle futures trading in the red. Steer and heifer calves sold 4.00-10.00 lower with increased numbers of un-weaned calves included. Demand moderate to good for calves. Quality not as attractive at many barns as last week, leading one to believe we are at the end of the winter graze out run. Rains continue to fall across the state, thus wheat harvest has been halted again. Slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold steady. Demand moderate for slaughter cows but was very good for replacement 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.
