Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to the last reported sale two weeks ago, the majority of steers weighed 650 lbs or less and traded 8.00-10.00 higher with the heavier weights lightly tested but selling firm. Heifers sold firm to 8.00 higher, spots 10.00 higher on those weighing 450-500 lbs. Supply was moderate and demand was very good. A few extra buyers in the seats and several strings of reputation cattle in very attractive condition made for an active market. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 3.00-7.00 higher except lean cows trading steady.

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.
