USDA Launches National Feeder and Stocker Cattle Dashboard

Notice to Trade

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) today launched the National Feeder and Stocker Cattle dashboard. This is the fourth launch of a new dashboard as part of ongoing efforts to make USDA’s Market News information more user-friendly. Farmers and ranchers now have instant access to dynamic, visualized data, with price movements, volume changes, and market comparisons all in an easy-to-read format. AMS previously published the Livestock Auction, LMR Cattle, and Cattle Contract Library dashboards, and will continue to deliver tools to support producers as they make marketing decisions for their products.

With the new National Feeder and Stocker Cattle dashboard users can create customizable filters to refine their view by date, sale type, region, class, and weight, giving them the flexibility to focus on the data that matters most to their operation. This interactive tool will replace the text and pdf reports currently posted on the AMS Market News website while also expanding processing, consumer transparency, and markets for farmers and ranchers.

For more information on the dashboard and its use, please view the linked video. If you have questions about the new dashboard, please contact Lonnie Peetz, Officer in Charge with the Livestock, Poultry, and Grain Market News Division, at (816) 341-2106 or Lonnie.Peetz@usda.gov.
