cattle markets
Where herds trade
Cattle markets are places where livestock—primarily cattle—are bought and sold, typically through auction.
Farmers and ranchers bring animals to be inspected and bid on by buyers.
The term extends to any trading venue for cattle futures or beef commodities: Prices at the cattle markets dropped after the drought.
Figuratively, any crowded, chaotic gathering where people are assessed or sorted may be called a cattle market: The job fair felt like a cattle market.
