Market comments — USDA reporter
Trade activity and demand was moderate. Feeder steers under 700 sold unevenly steady. Feeder heifers sold mostly sharply lower across all weight classes. Replacement heifers sold strong. Steers over 700 sold 10.00 to 11.00 lower. Boner slaughter cows of average dressing sold 2.00 higher while lean cows sold 2.00 lower. Slaughter bulls of average dressing sold 2.00 lower. The next feeder calf and slaughter cow sale will be next Tuesday March 10, 2026.

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.
