New York cattle markets
New York has a smaller but diverse beef-cattle sector, with cow-calf herds and feeder cattle production spread across upstate regions. Western New York, the Finger Lakes, the Southern Tier, and parts of the North Country support cattle operations that often use pasture, forage, and crop-residue resources. Many calves are marketed after fall weaning, with additional seasonal activity around spring turnout and breeding-stock sales. Regional livestock auctions provide outlets for feeder, breeding, and cull cattle from family-scale farms.
About this data
These are auction sale prices reported by USDA Market News from livestock auctions across New York, 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.

New York cattle price frequently asked questions
How much are feeder steers in New York right now?
Feeder steer prices in New York ran from about $191 to $455 per cwt this week, with lighter calves bringing more per hundredweight than heavy yearlings; feeder heifers ran about $275 to $510 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 New York 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.
