Cattle markets, where livestock producers may buy and sell cattle and calves, act as major hubs in the shipment network that connect cattle populations across the United States (U.S.). Cattle markets can then provide insight into the integration of the U.S. cattle industry, thus informing how regional price fluctuations can influence cattle prices nationally. Despite biosecurity measures and regulatory compliance from livestock markets, commingling and re-distribution of animals from multiple sources may elevate the risk of disease spread and make tracing animal movements more complex, which could pose significant challenges if a transboundary animal disease (TAD) were introduced into the U.S. Therefore, knowing the size and location of cattle markets in the U.S. is critical to understanding cattle industry market dynamics and enhancing pandemic scenario modeling efforts. In this article, we present a list of cattle markets, their locations, and estimated quarterly cattle sales. We compiled a list of 1,619 known cattle markets with and without market sales data from 1,131 counties across the U.S. from 2012-2016. To estimate unknown market sales data, we fit a spatial autoregressive lag model to annual county-level market sales data and used the fit to predict annual sales in counties that lacked sales information. County-level sales data provide important insight into the structure of the U.S. cattle industry. The dataset can be used to improve national-scale cattle movement models, livestock disease models, and inform TAD surveillance efforts.

Description of Cattle Prices -source

The US beef cattle production industry is currently marked by tight supply conditions and elevated prices. Over recent years, persistent drought conditions have led to significant herd liquidation, with beef cow numbers falling to historic lows. This contraction has created a bottleneck in calf production and feeder cattle availability, sustaining high cattle prices. In tandem, elevated feed costs have pressured prices upwards and profit down, driving revenue as cattle producers seek to pass on costs and prevent further profit declines. As herd rebuilding has remained slow, cattle supplies have remained low and kept prices high even as feed, energy and other key agricultural input costs have declined from their highs in 2022. Industry revenue has grown at a CAGR of 6.0% during the current period to reach an estimated $95.9 billion after declining by 2.4% in 2025 as reduced consumption and supplies limit sales. Consumer preferences are shifting in the beef cattle production industry. There is an increasing awareness of environmental and health-related concerns associated with beef consumption. Consequently, many consumers are reducing their intake of conventional beef, turning instead towards more sustainable options and alternatives that are perceived as healthier or higher quality, such as grass-fed and organic beef. This shift has spurred growth in these segments as consumers look for transparency and ethical farming practices. Retailers and restaurants have responded accordingly by offering more options that align with these consumer preferences. However, these trends also pose challenges, especially for smaller producers who face significant costs associated with transitioning to sustainable practices or achieving certifications like organic or "sustainably raised." Though opportunities for growth will continue to present themselves, the outlook for the industry as a whole does not look as positive in the next five years. Poultry, pork and plant-based proteins will threaten beef demand as they appeal to health-conscious customers, particularly as cattle prices are elevated. Climate change will also continue to introduce environmental pressures, demanding resilience and adaptability from producers. Periods of stable weather could facilitate herd rebuilding, leading to increased cattle supplies and dropping prices, but continued climatic fluctuations and extreme weather events could reduce the consistency of production and increase revenue volatility. Advancements in technology, such as drones and wearable sensors, promise to help optimize cattle management, improving operational efficiencies and animal welfare. These innovations, however, require investment and broader accessibility through government support to ensure equitable adoption across the industry. Additionally, while global trade disruptions remain a concern due to disease outbreaks and geopolitical tensions, US producers will have opportunities in niche market segments to differentiate themselves, counterbalancing some of these pressures. Overall, revenue for cattle producers is forecast to decline through 2030 at a CAGR of 0.4% to $94.0 billion.
