Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 8.00 higher with most of the gain on a nice offering of 500-700 lb steers. Demand was good for a moderate supply. A good portion of the feeders were long time weaned cattle coming off grass in an attractive condition and the remainder was new crop calves with some weaned and some not. Typical early October weather is going to make it tough on calves this week with warm days and cool nights. Cattle futures saw big gains on Tuesday. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady 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.
