Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week, slaughter steers were 1.00 higher and slaughter heifers were 1.00 lower with still better value on higher quality steers and heifers and a good offering of steers and heifers. Holstein slaughter were too few to compare today. Cows had instances of higher/lower and bulls 1.00 to 2.00 higher. Feeder steers were unevenly steady to higher with feeder heifers and feeder bulls significantly higher this week with a good offering of feeders today.

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.
