What is Cattle Channel?
Cattle Channel is the CattleUSA network for live cattle auctions and real-time U.S. cattle market data. It streams livestock auctions throughout the nation, tracks feeder cattle prices by weight class and state, publishes preliminary salebarn market reports, and collects official USDA AMS livestock reports — all in one place.
How do I watch live cattle auctions online?
Sign in with a free CattleUSA account to get started. Cattle Channel rotates through livestock auctions nationwide, showing real-time lot details, weights, and live prices as the gavel falls.
Where can I see real-time feeder cattle prices?
The Top Sales shows live feeder cattle price discovery down to the pound — steers and heifers across several weight brackets, plus calves, stockers, bulls, and cows — with $/cwt indices breakdowns updated as sales report, approximately every 10 minutes.
What does $/cwt mean in cattle pricing?
$/cwt means dollars per hundredweight — the price for every 100 pounds of liveweight. It is the standard way cattle are quoted at auction, so a 500-pound calf at $300/cwt sells for about $1,500. Cattle Channel reports $/cwt by weight bracket so prices compare fairly across animals of different sizes.
Do I need an account to use Cattle Channel?
Yes — Cattle Channel is free with a CattleUSA account. Create an account to watch live auctions, view the top sales, read salebarn market reports, and access USDA AMS reports across the country.
