Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers steady to 3.00 lower. Demand moderate to good. Steer calves steady to 4.00 higher. Heifer calves 3.00-4.00 lower. Demand moderate for calves with increased numbers of un-weaned or short weaned calves included. Cattle futures mixed this week with grain futures playing on the big roller coaster. Auction numbers continue to get lighter as summers heat has it's grip on many areas of the country. Slaughter cows 1.00-3.00 higher, most advance on Lean cows. Slaughter bulls 1.00 lower. Packer demand moderate, but demand remains very good for replacement 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.
