Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 750lbs - 800lbs steady to 4.00 lower, 900lbs - 950lbs steady to 2.00 higher, over 1000lbs sold with significantly higher undertones. Feeder heifers 750lbs -850lbs steady to 4.00 higher, 850lbs - 900lbs steady to 4.00 lower, 1000lbs and over sold with higher undertones. Demand for this nice offering was good. Farmer buyers were active today helping to light some early fireworks at the barn. The strength of the current fat market, being so far ahead of the board, is quite possibly creating optimism for the fall and winter months. CME Feeder Cattle closed higher, while corn continues to fall. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 higher. Bulls 3.00 to 4.00 higher. NO SALE NEXT WEEK DUE TO THE FOURTH OF JULY HOLIDAY!! ENJOY AND BE SAFE!

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.
