Pennsylvania cattle markets

Pennsylvania cattle production is largely based on cow-calf herds and smaller diversified farms, especially in the western, central, and south-central parts of the state. Regional livestock auctions, including markets in the Lancaster County and south-central areas, are important outlets for feeder cattle and breeding stock. Spring and fall sale seasons are common, with fall marketing often following calf weaning and the end of pasture growth.

About this data

These are auction sale prices reported by USDA Market News from livestock auctions across Pennsylvania, 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.

Pennsylvania cattle price frequently asked questions

How much are feeder steers in Pennsylvania right now?

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 Pennsylvania 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.
