Questions
What are cattle prices in Arkansas this week?
At the 8 Arkansas sale barns that reported in the last 8 days, 500–600 lb Medium and Large 1 steers averaged $379.74/cwt on 244 head. Each barn's own ledger is linked below - a state average is a benchmark, not a bid.
Which Arkansas sale barn pays the most for calves?
This week the highest head-weighted 500–600 lb steer average among reporting Arkansas barns was North Arkansas Livestock in Green Forest at $396.97/cwt. That moves week to week and reflects the cattle that showed up as much as the market, so read it as a snapshot rather than a ranking of barns.
When do Arkansas sale barns run?
Thursday: 3 barns, Wednesday: 2 barns, Monday: 1 barn, Tuesday: 1 barn, Friday: 1 barn. Sale days are the barn's regular schedule; special and graded sales run off-calendar.
Where do these prices come from?
USDA AMS Livestock, Poultry & Grain Market News reporters attend these Arkansas auctions and publish a report per sale. We parse those reports; every barn page links the official PDF.
