Mississippi cattle markets
Mississippi's cattle sector is primarily cow-calf production, using pasture and forage resources across central, southern, and northern parts of the state. Smaller backgrounding operations may add weight to calves before they move to larger feeding regions. Livestock auctions remain an important outlet for calves, bred cattle, and cull cattle. Spring and fall calving are both used, with many calves marketed after weaning in late summer through fall.
Mississippi cattle market commentary
Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold 5.00 to 20.00 lower. Feeder heifers sold 7.00 to 20.00 lower. Slaughter cows sold steady. Slaughter bulls sold steady.

About this data
These are auction sale prices reported by USDA Market News from livestock auctions across Mississippi, summarized weekly. Feeder cattle are quoted per hundredweight (cwt); breeding and replacement cattle are often quoted per head or per pair. Prices move with the futures market, feed costs, and demand, so confirm current values at your local auction.

Mississippi cattle price frequently asked questions
How much are feeder steers in Mississippi right now?
Feeder steer prices in Mississippi ran from about $250 to $820 per cwt this week, with lighter calves bringing more per hundredweight than heavy yearlings; feeder heifers ran about $234 to $585 per cwt. Prices are from the USDA weekly cattle auction summary for the week ending Aug 1, 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 Mississippi 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.
