US Perspective – 25.11.25
Detailed figures for export sales of cattle hides are still unavailable because the US government website that publishes the information has not been updated because of the government shutdown there.
There are updates on some hide prices. The most recent showed branded Colorado steers of 66-68 pounds at $13 per piece, down from $14.50 earlier in the month. Heavy Texas steers weighing 60-62 pounds were also $13 per piece.
Cow hide prices stayed the same with northern dairy cows at $10.50 and south-west dairy cows at $10. Northern branded cows were down to $4 and south-west branded cows reduced to $3.50, with weights of 50-52 pounds in each case.
The source of all these figures is the US Department of Agriculture. Please note that the prices quoted represent ‘ballpark’ figures.
