Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week, slaughter steers were unevenly steady with higher quality steers trending higher and slaughter heifers 2.00 lower with a good offering today. Holstein slaughter steers were 1.00 to 3.00 higher with another good offering today. Cows had instances of higher/lower and bulls 4.00 higher this week. Feeder steers were too few today to compare with feeder heifers mostly steady and feeder bulls trending higher and a good offering of Holstein feeders this week.

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.
