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 sold with higher undertones compared to last week's limited offering. Very good demand for this very large offering of yearling steers and heifers, and weaned fall calves. The market was very active as there were many long strings of high quality yearlings offered in full loads and multiple load lots, and plenty of buyers on the seats ready to compete heavily. Plenty of smaller consignments to put together and make full loads throughout the day, as well. Flesh condition was attractive across a good portion of the yearlings, there were some heavy fleshed cattle as well, but overall the flesh was right. Cattle feeders were ready to buy these large strings while they can find them, as the summer marketing season begins and the runs taper off dramatically. Higher cattle futures complex helped to support the feeder market as well.
