Market comments — Wichita Livestock Sales Co., LLC

Everyone seems to be settling down after some upsets and uncertainties last week. The calf market was sharply higher this week and interest was much stronger on all classes. The cow market held steady again this week with a lot of bred cows being marketed and continued strong demand for weigh cows as well. While the screwworm is now stateside, business will continue as usual for us! Come check out Tucker Ag Products the next time you are in the sale barn for some expert advice on treatment and prevention methods for your herd! Thank you to everyone who allowed us to work for them again 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.
