Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week, yearlings not tested and calves sold steady to 5.00 lower. The extreme highs seen from last week were not found as the cattle market as a whole has lost ground and the overall quality of this week's offering was notably lower than what is typically present. The supply was moderate with many unweaned calves in the offering which often found fairly sharp discounts despite many having a round of shots. Demand was moderate. Although some severe weather with extremely large hail, strong winds and even a tornado passed close to the area over the weekend, many of those in the barn said they received only minimal rainfall and the area is much in need of moisture. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher. A small handful of bred cows and pairs were offered from a dispersal as a long time cattlewoman sold off the final remainder of her herd.

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.
