Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to two weeks ago, steers sold firm to 6.00 higher and heifers traded mostly 3.00-6.000 higher but the exception was some thinner fleshed lightweight heifers weighing 400-450 lbs selling with spots up to 15.00 higher. Demand was good to very good for a quality run of feeders with most having an attractive weigh-up, but mostly smaller sized groups were offered. Supply was moderate but several consignors brought cattle to town with some cooler weather to move stock. Trade was active and buyers were aggressive following the break with the overall feel of the market being optimistic for higher prices with simply less cattle to go around. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 7.00-10.00 lower on another large run. The slaughter cow market is under pressure from large numbers moving due to dry conditions in several parts of the country.

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.
