Idaho cattle and calf cash receipts rose 17% to about $3.9 billion in 2025, narrowly surpassing dairy receipts of more than $3.8 billion as the state's top agricultural commodity. Record beef prices and growing use of beef-cross dairy calves contributed to the increase.
Higher beef prices and more dairy-cross calves entering beef production support cattle values and can encourage greater calf supplies. The figures describe Idaho farm revenues rather than a new national price shock, so the direct market impact is limited.
