What happened
The Agricultural Marketing Service announced it will add a regional cash cattle price report to its Livestock Mandatory Reporting system. This new report will aggregate negotiated cattle trade data from New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. The update is part of an effort to bring more transparency to cattle market cash reporting.

Why it matters
The change addresses challenges caused by the decline in negotiated cash cattle trade, which has fallen from over 50% of transactions in 2005 to less than 18% in 2025. Because cash purchases form the basis for many formula transactions, the new report aims to provide more meaningful information to producers, livestock sellers, and packers.
