How to read these figures

Head-weighted averages across every auction USDA Market News reported for the week, quoted on Medium & Large 1–2 — the same grade your sale barn quotes. Every table can be switched to all grades, which runs lower because it folds in the plain cattle. These are averages, not bids: yours will bring what they bring. Not financial advice.

Feeder cattle

Head-weighted average price per hundredweight across Mississippi auctions. Premium is what steers brought over heifers of the same weight. ▲ green is up on last week, ▼ red is down; thin means too few head to compare.

The run-of-the-mill good feeder calf, and the grade most sale barns quote on their own market report.

What’s a calf worth in Mississippi?

At this week's Mississippi class average. A class average is not a bid — yours will bring what they bring — but it is the number to argue from.

Weight, pounds

$2,033

a head at this week's 500–600 lb average of $369.64 per hundredweight — up $4.06 on last week.

Based on 128 head sold in that class across every reporting auction. A class average, not a bid — your cattle will bring what they bring.

Cows, bulls & replacements

Every class Mississippi auctions reported this week. Cull cows price on condition — Breakers fleshiest, Leans thinnest. Replacement classes trade by the head. A class shows its price whenever anything sold; the week-over-week move is withheld when too few head changed hands for the comparison to mean anything, which happens more often at state level than nationally.
