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.
Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers not well compared on this much lighter offering, fleshy heifers sold with lower undertones. Moderate to good demand for this light offering of steers and heifers. A couple of long strings of backgrounded yearlings, ranged in flesh from light and attractive to heavy fleshed, balance smaller consignments offered in packages and part loads. The market was active on the light fleshed cattle that looked to gain efficiently, while the cattle in heavy flesh were much harder to sell. Summertime BBQ feeder sale next week expecting 5,000-6,000 feeders.
