Florida cattle markets
Florida has a large, pasture-based cow-calf sector, with cattle production concentrated in central, south-central, and north Florida. Ranches commonly use improved pasture and warm-season forage, and the state has established livestock auction markets serving regional producers. Spring calving and fall weaning are common, although the long grazing season supports a range of calving and marketing schedules. Florida calves often move to backgrounding, stocker, or feedlot programs in other southeastern and plains states.

Compared to one week ago: Slaughter cattle sold mostly steady to 3.00 lower. Feeder cattle sold unevenly steady to firm. Replacement cows sold steady. Year to date receipts totaled 259,533 compared to 271,267 a year ago.

Florida cattle price frequently asked questions
How much are feeder steers in Florida right now?
Feeder steer prices in Florida ran from about $210 to $740 per cwt this week, with lighter calves bringing more per hundredweight than heavy yearlings; feeder heifers ran about $175 to $650 per cwt. Prices are from the USDA weekly cattle auction summary for the week ending Oct 31, 2026. Exact prices depend on weight, frame, and quality, shown in the tables above.
Why do lighter cattle cost more per hundredweight?
Buyers usually pay a higher price per pound for lighter calves than for heavy yearlings, a pattern often called the price slide, because lighter cattle have more weight left to gain. That is why a 5-weight steer can post a higher per-cwt price than an 8-weight steer at the same auction.
How often are these cattle prices updated?
USDA Market News publishes Florida auction summaries weekly, and this page refreshes after each new report. Auction prices can change from week to week, so check the report date shown above.
