Abstract: The choice-select discount in fed cattle pricing grids is a significant factor in determining the net grid price. Cursory analysis of data since 1997 evidences a structural change approximately when USDA-AMS mandatory price reporting began. This is important for producers/feeders deciding when to feed and market fed cattle.
