Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to spots 5.00 higher. More yearlings were in the offering this week than the last several so comparable sales were light on the cattle over 600 lbs, but a higher undertone was noted on the yearling heifers in particular with some loads and several nice packages of those on offer. Demand was good for a moderate supply that included several quality weaned fall-born calves as well. Slaughter cows sold 1.00-3.00 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.
