Georgia cattle markets
Georgia's cattle industry is mainly based on cow-calf production, supported by pasture systems across the Piedmont, southwest Georgia, and other rural regions. Local livestock auctions play an important role in assembling feeder cattle for regional buyers. Many herds calve in spring and market weaned calves during the fall run, while fall-calving herds add cattle to spring marketing periods. Cattle from Georgia commonly move into southeastern stocker and backgrounding programs before finishing elsewhere.

Georgia cattle price frequently asked questions
How much are feeder steers in Georgia right now?
Feeder steer prices in Georgia ran from about $175 to $610 per cwt this week, with lighter calves bringing more per hundredweight than heavy yearlings; feeder heifers ran about $200 to $660 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.
