Sonora cattle market price fluctuations

Overview

The price of male feeder calves in Sonora, Mexico, rose by 19 percent between late July and mid-September 2026, reaching an average of 129.81 pesos per kilogram.

This price increase is linked to market speculation following the US government’s July 24 announcement that it would resume receiving cattle from Agua Prieta, Sonora, after a closure caused by screwworm concerns. While some producers have seen record export prices, experts note that long-term price stability remains dependent on actual operations, bilateral sanitary protocols, and potential technical delays at the border.
