Market Reports

As of November 6, 2026

Butcher cows traded at least $7-10 lower this week. More than one participant in the feeding cow market dropped off this week bringing about the lower prices. Cows suitable to go on feed were in the $190-220 range.  Good dairy cows traded $145-155. Bulls were lower this week as well. Pretty good bulls traded up to $238. Feeder cattle were trading remarkably well considering the crash in the futures market. Feeder futures dropped $20USD+ in the course of a week. The top end of the feeder cattle market might have dropped $5. Very fortunate considering the state of market affairs. Local orders seem to be helping with the market stability.
