USDA AMS MyMarketNews reported feeder cattle prices for November 2, 2026 from auctions at Ft. Pierre and Herreid in South Dakota and Crawford in Nebraska.
Lighter steers and heifers sold across weight classes, with 300-400 pound steers reaching 566 to 625 per hundredweight.
Auction prices are a direct read on the cost of feeder cattle entering feedlots, which shapes demand for feed grains and byproducts. Without a clear new cause, the reported levels mainly confirm the existing price structure.
After 44 past neutral report events, Feeder Cattle moved a median +0.3% over 5 sessions (59% higher; middle half -0.9% to +1.0%), and +0.5% over 20.
