Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Not enough feeder cattle and calves to test trends this week as most all sales were closed for the July 4th holiday week. Few sales occurred early in the week but these lightly tested due to extreme heat and humidity as well as the holiday. Demand was very good for limited numbers of feeder cattle. Slaughter cows and bulls also lightly tested, however a higher undertone was noted. Demand also good for slaughter cows and bulls.

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.
