Market comments — USDA reporter

No comparison to last week due to the Holiday but slaughter steers and heifers were trending higher with a good offering of higher quality steers and heifers this week. A good offering of Holstein slaughter steers that were trending higher with high quality Holstein steers and Dairy/Beef slaughter steers were mostly steady. A light test of cows and bulls today that were trending lower. Dairy/Beef heifers were trending lower this week. Feeder steers were steady to lower on a light offering and feeder heifers trending lower with feeder bulls instances of higher/lower. Holstein feeder heifers and Dairy/Beef feeder heifers were at a higher price on a good offering and good buyer interest. A nice offering of young replacement bred cows and cow/calf pairs at a good value and active buyer participation.

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.
