Market comments — USDA reporter

compared to two weeks ago calves and feeders selling on alight test still have lots of small groups and not a lot of comparison with the state fair just getting over Sunday. Lots of outside pressure from the big announcement of 300,000 metric tons of beef that is going to be imported in over the next 90 days putting the CME live cattle board down $4.37-$2.17 on monday. lots of pressure on the feeder cattle market and also the slaughter cows and bulls. Calves and feeders selling with a lower undertone and slaughter cows and bull selling with a lower undertone as well

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.
