Questions
What are cattle prices in Texas this week?
At the 5 Texas sale barns that reported in the last 8 days, 500–600 lb Medium and Large 1 steers averaged $392.68/cwt on 220 head. Each barn's own ledger is linked below - a state average is a benchmark, not a bid.
Which Texas sale barn pays the most for calves?
This week the highest head-weighted 500–600 lb steer average among reporting Texas barns was Tulia Livestock in Tulia at $427.27/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 Texas sale barns run?
Thursday: 3 barns, Monday: 1 barn, Tuesday: 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 Texas auctions and publish a report per sale. We parse those reports; every barn page links the official PDF.
