Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly steady with spots 5.00 higher on the heifers. Demand was good for a moderate supply of calves and yearlings and another heavy supply of cows. One would have thought that hay season might have slowed the movement of cattle but it's dry and the market is good, so there has been little hint of a slowdown yet. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-5.00 lower when compared to the last reported cow market two weeks ago.

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.
