Market comments — Wichita Livestock Sales Co., LLC

Our last sale before our week off and it was a good one! We sold a lot of cows today with an excellent replacement and packer market. The calf market was slightly uneven today although the front end of the market was outstanding! We sold a string of yearling steers that averaged 858 and brought $318.00/cwt dollaring out to $2,728.44 per head! The fundamentals driving these record highs look like they will be sticking around for awhile. Thank You to all our consignors this week! REMINDER NO SALE NEXT WEDNESDAY JULY 2ND

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.
