Livestock Marketing

The Livestock Marketing Information Center (LMIC) is a unique cooperative effort among state university extension specialists, USDA economists, industry cooperators, and Center staff.  Through cooperative efforts and programs, duplication of effort is greatly reduced while enhancing the overall quality and quantity of livestock market information for producers and other decisionmakers.

USDA members of the LMIC represent one of five federal partner agencies.  Those participating agencies are NIFA, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Economic Research Service (ERS), Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA), and National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS).
