Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week, steers under 700 lbs sold mostly 4.00-8.00 higher with the most advance on the 550-675 lb weight range and heavier weights traded 3.00-5.00 higher. Heifers sold steady to 6.00 higher, except for the 550-600 lb weight range up to 10.00 higher. Demand was very good for a heavy supply. The large numbers and high quality offered brought in a full house of buyers that were aggressive in their bidding and trade was very active. No real market factors lent support to the market other than grass buyers are eager to procure cattle and the quality was excellent with most long time weaned and in attractive condition. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-3.00 lower, bulls mostly 5.00 lower.

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.
