Market comments — USDA reporter

No comparison to last week due to no coverage last week but slaughter steers and heifers were trending higher/ lower and still good inquiry on higher quality steers and heifers and active bidding. Holsteins slaughter steers trending mostly steady with higher value on 1/2 blood Holstein steers. Cows and bulls were mostly steady today. Feeder calves were trending unevenly steady with active buyer participation on fancy type feeders and a good offering of feeders this week

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.
