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.
Compared to two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold 10.00 to 15.00 higher. Compared to last week slaughter cows sold 3.00 to 5.00 higher and bulls sold 3.00 higher. Demand was good for feeders coming out of grow yards or off very short, dry summer grass. Good demand was also noted on slaughter and feeding cows with quite a lot of cows going back to feedlots. Spotty rain showers in different areas of the state late in the week. Few, reports of 1.50" on some areas!.
