Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to the last reported sale two weeks ago, the best test on steers was for those weighing under 700 lbs which sold 4.00-7.00 higher. Heifers sold steady to 4.00 higher, except for the 550-600 lb weight range trading a full 10.00 higher with several groups at that weight in attractive condition and selling with very good demand. Overall, demand was good to very good for a moderate supply that included several nice consignments of long weaned cattle coming in off grass. A good quality herd dispersal followed the feeder sale that included several cow/calf pairs and bred cows. Slaughter cows sold unevenly steady from 2.00 higher to 2.00 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.
