How it Works

Sellers may market cattle through the Bid the Grid option. Bidders will bid on the base price for the weekly grid. Premiums and discounts are applied once the cattle are harvested, weighed, and graded.

Packer Participation

National and regional packers participate in the Fed Cattle Exchange. The Central Stockyards team works directly with packers to encourage participation in weekly sales.
