Western Video Market's Little America Sale in Cheyenne, WY. No recent price comparison for deliveries of feeder cattle and calves, however a sharply higher undertone was noted for all classes. Fall Feeder Cattle futures were 15.00 to 16.00 higher than the last sale (Silver Legacy in Reno). Bulk of the feeder cattle were for September through October delivery, with calf deliveries from October through November. Weaned cattle sold on good to very good demand for all delivery points. Cattle prices have risen significantly this summer and ranchers want to take advantage of the higher prices while they are available to them. Record fed cattle prices from a couple weeks ago have been driving cattle buyers to be aggressive to fill pens as they come available in the coming months. Supply included 81 percent North Central; 13 percent from the West region; 6 percent from South Central. Deliveries are current through January 2026. Current delivery is 14 days from the last day of the sale and is up to and including August 25th, 2025.

Source: USDA AMS · St Joseph, MO. Prices are as filed, F.O.B. at origin, with the buyer taking freight — they are not comparable to a spot ring price and never enter a barn average. Weights are USDA’s estimates — these cattle had not been weighed when they sold. Delivery months differ between lots; a price for one month is not a price for another. Head is summed from the lots as reported.

Feeder Cattle — prices, barns, and planning

Fed Cattle — the cash market and what quality pays

Beef & Retail — from the box to the grocery shelf

Feed & Hay — the cost side, cash not futures

Cows & Bred Stock — the rebuild market
