Market comments — USDA reporter
Sale not recently reported due to Seasonally low trends, therefore no market comparison may be made. Very Good Demand with several new faces in the seats for the Annual Anniversary Yearling Sale and BBQ Lunch. There were several long strings and many load lots and packages of Feeder Steers, Feeder Heifers, and Tested Open Heifers which all sold on a very Strong, Active Market. Much of the Offering was Home Raised and the Entire Offering came off grass and carried Light to Moderate Flesh. Grass around the area seems to be holding up well despite the recent heat but hay production has been varied through out the area. Grass Cattle owners are hopeful the gains will continue to be good as this grass cures and this strong market continues into the Fall Run. Next Feeder Cattle Sale is August 13.
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.
