Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to the last sale 03/19/2026: Limited supplies of Current FOB feeder cattle trades and these sold mostly steady. Not enough current delivery calf trades to test trends. Demand good but still some cautious as cattle futures continue to trade a little erratic. Bulk of the feeder supply for late April and May delivery. Supply included 55 percent South Central; 5 percent North Central; 30 percent South East; 9 percent from the West and <1 percent from the North East. Deliveries are current through October 2026. Current delivery is 14 days from the day of the video and is up to and including April 16, 2026.

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.
