Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week: Yearling steers and heifers were steady to 2.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves were 3.00 to 10.00 higher depending on weaned and vaccination status. Trade activity was fairly active on moderate to good demand. Larger discounts were noted for unweaned or short weaned calves as a cold front with the possibility of snow and freezing temperatures are forecasted to move into the region over the weekend and into next 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.
