Livestock Reports and Price Reactions Overview
This report contains price reactions to the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Cattle on Feed and
Quarterly Hogs and Pigs reports.
The USDA Cattle on Feed report is released monthly and publishes on-feed inventory, fed cattle marketings, and feeder
cattle placements. Annual average price reactions to the Cattle on Feed reports are provided in this publication using
prices data from the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) Market News reports.
The USDA Quarterly Hogs and Pigs reports are published each year in March, June, September, and December and
provide data on hog and pig inventory, sows farrowing, pig crop estimates, and 3-month and 6-month farrowing
intentions. Annual average price reactions to the Quarterly Hogs and Pigs reports are provided in this publication using
prices data from the AMS Market News reports.
The AMS prices used in this report for cattle and hogs represent sales from producers to first buyers at major markets. The
price reaction to the Cattle on Feed and Quarterly Hogs and Pigs reports is indicated by the difference between the price
the week prior and the week after each report.
