Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week slaughter steers were 5.00 to 7.00 higher with slaughter heifers 3.00 to 8.00 higher and a good offering of higher quality steers and heifers this week with active buyer participation. No Holsteins slaughter steers today. Cows had instances of higher/lower with bulls 4.00 lower bit good demand on higher dressing breaker cows. Feeder steers and heifers were unevenly steady and feeder bulls trending lower with a good offering of fancy type feeders and lots of buyer interest.

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.
