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.
For the week no test on calves and feeder cattle. Slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 5.00 lower and bulls sold 3.00 lower. Bred cows and cow calf pairs steady. Demand was moderate to good. Ranchers continue to make the first or second cut of cows to town due to the drought and limited feed. Prices overall continue to sell very well as demand from out-of-state buyers is good. Some of the cows are going as far east as Tennessee.
