Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to two weeks ago, feeder cattle under 650 lbs sold on a light test due to light receipts this week, though a higher undertone was noted. Overall feeder steers and heifers over 650 lbs sold steady to 3.00 higher, with some instances of 6.00 of 9.00 higher from 700 to 800 lbs. The sale supply consisted of a heavy offering of loads of attractive quality yearling cattle, selling at higher demand. Buyer demand and attendance was good for a moderate sale supply. Slaughter cows sold 9.00 to 11.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold 5.00 to 6.00 higher.

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.
