Market comments — USDA reporter

Compared to last week steers less than 500 lbs sold 30.00 to 40.00 higher. 5 weight steers sold 15.00 lower with 6 weights trading 2.00 to 7.00 higher. Steers over 700 lbs sold unevenly steady. Heifers has about a similar trend with light weight heifers trading 2.00 higher and yearling weight heifers trading unevenly steady. Slaughter cows sold steady to 1.00 higher and bulls sold 5.00 lower on the week. Demand was good to instances very good for bred cattle and replacement heifers. Even though most of Wyoming is very dry, cattlemen are planning ahead for the next year hoping they can increase their cow herds slightly or at least young them up with some bred heifer in 2027.

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.
