New York feeder cattle prices

USDA auction weighted averages · $/cwt · week of Sep 28 – Oct 4 · Cornbelt + SE region

No quotable market

Read before the tables

USDA has not published enough New York trade to quote a price — its newest complete week is Sep 28. Every weight class it filed came in under 50head, so there is no class we are willing to average into a state price. One barn's sale is not a state.

This is a reporting gap, not an absence of trade. Cattle are sold here; USDA is not filing a report deep enough to price them. What it did file is below in full, for the record — head counts without averages.

1 of 1 classes are not quoted. Those traded, but under 50 head — too few to average into a market price. The head count is still shown, so nothing is hidden; only the average is withheld. Across every state over the last year, cells under 50 head are 29% of the cells and 1.4% of the cattle. $/cwt, head and barn counts are USDA as filed USDA. $/cwt is USDA's weighted average of every reported lot. $/head is that price applied to the midpoint of the weight range Derived, blank on 300–400 and 900 lb + because both are open-ended and USDA publishes no average weight to use instead.

These tables are not from the same week

USDA last filed New York steers in the week of Sep 28 and heifers in the week of Sep 14. They are shown on their own dates rather than forced onto one, and the steer–heifer spread should not be read across them.
