The USDA Agricultural Marketing Service released its National Daily Feeder and Stocker Summary for November 3, 2026, showing mixed feeder cattle prices across major markets. At Winter Livestock in La Junta, Colorado, 300-400 lb steers sold for 585-605 and 700-800 lb steers for 318-358, while Joplin Regional Stockyards reported 500-600 lb steers at 390-440.
Feeder cattle prices set the cost of placements for feedlots that consume corn, DDGS and other feed ingredients, so mixed weight-class moves signal uneven demand for feeder supply. The routine daily report gives no new cause for a broad price shift.
